I would love it if Finale would not allow you to write above or below an instruments range, much like the sample libraries won't sound a note that is out of an instruments range.
Or at least make it an option that you can turn on-off.

- Operating System: Mac
The full version of Finale has a plug-in which checks the range, but after the music has been entered (You select the region and apply the plug-in).
This will work for staves created with the new staff wizard.
The plug-in is under the plug-in menu->scoring and arranging->Check range.

It is hard for Finale to decide what is or what is not in an instrument's range, when the creators of MIDI decided that you should be able to have cowbells in 128 different pitches, or bird tweets in 128 different pitches, or gunshots in 128 different pitches, etc, etc ,etc. That was such a waste of useful MIDI space, just because they didn't have the imagination to fill up the default MIDI instruments with more useful "stuff".
