Personally, I don't think Finale is intended to be taken seriously as a rendering tool. I think it's a notation tool which happens to have some halfway decent tools for producing audio output.
This is a little like saying, "If Microsoft Word wants to be taken seriously as a layout program....". Word is a word processor which also gives you the ability to do some basic layout. But it will never come close to the abilities of a real layout program, like InDesign or Quark.
(This is where one of the listers -- I forget who -- jumps in and says that they have long used Finale as a word processor.)
Just my $0.02. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice for Finale to do what you want, just that I think it's outside its declared scope.
