Hi Craig,
You should certainly be using the Change Instrument feature. For starters, it
greatly simplifies part creation, and allows for mid-system instrument changes.
There is this one playback issue I described (which I don't recall being a
problem prior to Finale 2014) but certainly the benefits FAR, FAR outweigh this
one particular drawback.
Cheers,

Sorry I can't help because I don't use Mac.
But this raises a question for me. I wasn't aware of this Change
Instrument feature. Whenever I have had a player with doubles, I have
set up a staff for each instrument, put them all together in manage
parts, then use Hide Empty Staves so that there is only one staff on the
part. That is straightforward and has always worked fine for me.
My question is whether this Change Instruments feature is significantly
easier (assuming it all works correctly).
I guess the Change Instrument approach would end up with fewer
instruments in the score, which would be a benefit.
Basically this is a question of what is the best practice.

I should clarify that I mean use the Change Instrument feature to create an
instrument change mid-piece, rather than selecting the entire staff and
changing the instrument for the entire duration.

Hi all,
Can anyone else confirm that if you use the Change Instrument feature in
Finale 2014 to switch to an instrument double, the new instrument does not
respond to any dynamics or hairpins? (N.B. I have Human Playback on and am
using Garritan instruments.)
