I am trying to get my score sounding through the Garritan instruments. After searching for information, I understand that I must go to the MIDI/Audio menu and select "Play Finale through VST", but that option doesn't appear in my Finale 2012 for Mac. I enclose a picture showing the issue. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

You have selected the right menu item.
The Mac “Play Finale Through Audio Units” is equivalent to the Windows “Play Finale Throug VST”.

Are you familiar with the ScoreManager?
In the ScoreManager there are two chiclets:
File Info
and
Instrument List

In the chiclet “Instrument List” you can control the playback instruments.

In the column Device there are two different Garritan options:
Garritan Instruments for Finale
and
Garritan: ARIA Player
