I understand sfz to apply only to the note or chord where written, interpreting the mark to mean suddenly louder than what precedes it and what follows; so I treat sfz much like an accent. But Finale regards it as a dynamic expression with playback continued with the increased velocity, until another dynamic mark is added. I have been adding a hidden dynamic mark after sfz, usually mf, until learning how to assign sfz as an articulation. I have a collection of these markings in my library file as sfz after, say, f needs to be louder than when after pp. I'm just wondering what others do in this situation.

Aha! I see that playback is set to "None," otherwise subsequent notation is affected.
I had assigned a key velocity to mine, so that the sffz would be distinguished when added after a part in "f." I'll just create some as articulations that apply playback only to the note or chord.
Thanks for lending a hand.
