Well, I figured it out! Here's how to program the EW libraries:ДЎ.

Use the right tool for the job and you'll get the best results. But you'll get a better notated score in FInale. I'm positive that you'll get better results with EW in a DAW. And the sole purpose of a DAW is to get the best recording possible. The EW sample libraries and many others were not created to work in a notation program, they were made to work in a DAW. So now, I still use the Garritan sounds in Finale, but then I create my polished recording in a DAW. But I will say that despite all of the time I put into creating new preferences, they never worked like I hoped they would. (with velocity if needed) My preferences were all done with Finale 2011, so I can't speak to how they'll work in F25. That being said, it still doesn't work as well as the Garritan sounds do.ДЄs mentioned above, you can set up your preferences to use CC#1, CC#7 or CC#11. But if you study the existing Garritan preferences you can figure it out. In Finale's manual, it's not documented how to do this.

I've taken the time to create HP preferences for the Spitfire string libraries. For example, legato notes on layer 1 and programmed to go to channel 1, where staccato notes may be on layer 2, programmed to send to channel 2.ДЄt some point I guess I will take the time to find a better way to do it - but for now, that's how I've been able to work with it. If that is the case, then I will put the 'articulations' on separate layers. Other instruments in EW have these different sounds as totally separate 'instruments' which would have to be loaded on separate channels. For these, I have been adding a second line as a controller - so, for example, if I have a bass guitar staff, where some of the notes are supposed to be staccato, I will add another staff above the bass guitar staff, set it to play on the same channel as the bass guitar, and just plug in the notes on that staff which will change from legato to staccato and back as necessary. Some of the sounds in EW have key switches, so you can switch between a staccato or legato just by pressing a key on the low end of the keyboard. Exactly how I do that depends on how the sound library is set up. So, what I've been doing is putting a switch in the score. For me, I have not yet been able to get the articulation to work correctly - and haven't really had enough time to really spend on figuring it out. So, I'm sure I'm probably not using it in the best way possible lol.

A lot about interfacing EW with Finale, I have learned by trial and error, and usually when I'm in the middle of a big project that has to be done quickly.
