I'm using Finale 2007 and I'm having trouble getting the pizz. to sound like a pizz. I read something about it being used only when HP is off, but when I select HP to none, it still sounds arco.

Also, I'm opening a file that I previously started in Finale 2006 and when I try hear how it sounds, I get the error: Missing requested plugin: Finale GPO for bank #1.

Thanks for reading this, and please help if you can!

The arco and pizz. as a note expression (with no playback effect) should work fine with human playback in GPO using Violin KS.

With the soft synths, you will have to set up a different patch for pizzicato and define the pizz. expression to change channels and arco to change channels back.
