Hello there. With use of an artificial harmonic, the highest (moreso justly tuned touch 4th harmonic) note that a violin can produce is a D8 (if middle C = C4). The highest note that I could input for violin sample playback on Finale 2014.5 is a D7. Is there a way to have notes Eb7-D8 playback, or is that not possible? Thanks for your help!

Yes, buy a sample library with real harmonics.
if you're expecting the Garritan Instruments for Finale to have that, sadly, it doesn't.
