I learned (once again) that with Finale you often have to make a little experiment to test what you think you know about the program. Articulation playback, with or without Human Playback, is one of those things. Jari opened my eyes to the fact that all three playback options for

oh, yes, i was thinking of affecting the 'default' length--i think sibelius has this option now, and it used to default to a non-legato playback, which was a bit of a pain (articulation on every note, anybody?) but your technique will work in a pinch, especially with the filter function On

Hi Chuck, Notwithstanding what Read says, this practice is mainly used (and is mainly useful) in score situations, so the conductor does not have to flip back a page to determine what the pitch actually is. I would not do this on a part, but on a score, over a page break, it makes sense.
