If that is the case, it seems pointless to go to all the trouble and expense of including Garritan.

The thing that I am suggesting is actually pretty easy to do. Worst case, you simply iterate through each staff as a solo track as Randolph described. But with 25 staves, I'm not going to do that by hand.

I have not used any of the scripting language. Is this the sort of thing that could be done with a script?

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.

Aaron.
