I see the "Play Only on Pass" checkbox in the Playback tab of the

don't want it to play, and setting the channel pressure and key
velocity to
zero. Nothing works.
How can something so supposedly simple be so difficult?
Here's the process:
1) create an expression "2nd Time Only"
2) in the playback panel of the dialog check the Play on Pass and set it
to 1 (this is contrary to what you would expect)
3) in the Type panel, select Key Velocity, and set value to 0
4) click OK to close the creation dialog, then assign that to the first
note of the section you want to be heard only 2nd time
5) repeat the process, only create another expression called something
like "Reset Volume" and set the text type to be Hidden (so it won't print)
6) in the playback panel, check Play on Pass and set it to 2
7) in the Type panel, select Key Velocity and set the value to match
whatever the volume level should be as set by the most recent dynamic
marking.
8) both of these expressions should be placed in the music at the same
point, the first note of the repeated process.
I just ran through these steps in Finale2008 and they still work just
like they've always worked.
Thanks! It sounds unduly complex, but if it works should be useful.
