HP interprets dynamic using either volume or velocity depending on
what type of instrument is selected. Sustaining instruments get volume
changes, non-sustaining instruments (like piano) get velocity changes.
(At least, this is what happens when the Garritan instruments are
used, not sure about SmartSynth).
I'm not sure this has to do with Matthew's problem, though. In Finale
2008, hairpins assigned to either piano staff affect velocity for both
staves. I'm not using Fin2009 regularly, but If this is new behavior,
it's unwanted behavior, IMO.
The workaround would be to copy the hairpins to both staves and hide
the unwanted ones. But you shouldn't have to do that -- and in earlier
versions, you didn't.

In the 'old' days, i.e. pre-Finale 2009, when applying a dynamic

In 2009 it seems to be more independent, which is annoying when
you in
fact
want the dynamic applying to both staves.
Does anyone know of a trick to get it back to the way it was?
Assign the same MIDI channel to both staves?
Yeah, already checked this, it's correct.
The problem mostly is where it comes to hairpins, unfortunately.
Hairpins are assigned to an individual staff. I don't know how human
playback interprets them. If it's using key velocities to implement
them, then those would be applied only to the staff that the hairpin
is attached to. But if it's using the volume controller, that should
apply to both staves if they are playing back on the same channel.
My guess based on what you've said is that human playback is using
key velocity and not the volume controller.
