Finale 2014.5, Windows 7, GPO 5

The first viola entry is playing back as fff instead of pppp, yet all the other string entries are fine. I've tried clearing MIDI data, re-entering the note, re-adding the dynamic. No luck.

You have several options of narrowing down the error to its source. E.G. reduce the score to only one staff/measure, copy individual measures/staves of the score to a new document or lead Finale's MIDI data through a MIDI monitor to see which data gets sent effectively.

All we see is a picture. Without having a file to examine, it's hard to help in troubleshooting.

If you work with hidden staffs or staff sets, try unhiding all.

But yes, Zuill is right. It helps to upload the file.

Make sure they are attached to the correct staff.
When staves are close together, smart shapes and dynamics can attach to the one directly below instead.
