A little follow-up question for Chuck or anybody else who knows the
answer.
If I purchase the full JABB package and set my instruments under
Kontact, are those settings saved with my Finale score? In other
words the next time I open that score, it will have the same
instruments I assigned through Kontact? And likewise, different
Finale scores can use different combinations of the Garritan sounds,
and those settings are restored automatically each time I open an
existing Finale score?
All of this - yes.
I surmise from this discussion that it is not possible to select
instruments from the full JABB set when creating a new score using
the setup wizard. Is that correct?
I don't think so, but maybe Darcy knows better. I don't use the
wizard much.

I had no trouble using the full JABB sounds. You need to use the
Kontakt Player 2 to get them loaded into the file, and that
interface is nowhere near as clear and elegant as the new Aria
Player that comes with Finale, but it works decently. I'm not sure
of this, but the impression I think I got from Gary was that the
Aria player would eventually be a piece of stand alone software, in
which case, perhaps it will become available for use with the full
Garritan sounds and the Kontakt Player will become unnecessary.
Until then, you use the Kontakt software and the instrument list in
Finale, and everything works smoothly.
My needs are pretty well served by the full JABB, but there are
times, even in my "jazz" work that I need GPO instruments (Horns,
for instance), and the two sets of sounds are easily integrated
into a file using the Kontakt Player software.
