Finale 26.3.0.512, Win 10, Aria Player, Garritan Instruments
Human Playback is insisting that there should be a huge decrescendo on held notes before rests. It is especially dramatic in brass, in this case French Horn on a half note followed by quarter rest. The section dynamic is forte and I would say the sound drops off at least 75% before the note releases. It sounds ridiculous and affected. There appears to be no way to get it to simply hold a note at full volume up to a rest, other than turning off HP entirely which of course has other negative impacts. This is a fairly absurd setting, if intentional. Is there some way around this other than totally disabling HP?

Create a Custom HP definition and try turning off certain aspects until it gets rid of that behavior. Maybe Automatic Expression, or Interpret Harmonic Cadences.

I seem to remember having encountered a parallel problem with an automatic rit. that wouldn't go away. Believe it or not putting in a "non rit." expression solved it; perhaps a "non dim." would do the same?

I do believe the Custom HP is a good way. Experiment until you get the correct behavior. I would start with the 2 I mentioned.

P.S.: After posting, I tested unchecking Automatic Expression. The fadeout went away. Give that a try.
P.P.S.: See the attached picture and Finale 26 file to see what I mean. The MIDI tool picture shows 3 bars with Automatic Expression and 3 without. Listen to the Finale file and you should hear what the picture shows.
