Not sure if these have been addressed but I would like to check into them.  

1. In Finale 2014 I was able to put in a 'fall off' smart shape (gliss) it if I used the Garritan JABB trumpet it would trigger great.  Also, other instruments without that keyswitch would at least pitch bend down.  This doesn't seem to work in V26 with a Smart Shape or an articulation as it did before.

2.  Play on pass.  I'm trying to do a 'play 2nd time only' section on a repeat.  I've done this in previous versions and it worked fine.  Not in V26.  Example - 

an 8 measure section with a 1st and 2nd ending.  I put in 3 expressions.  One sets the volume to 0.  This is set to play only on pass 1.  The next one sets the volume back to 110.  This is set to play on pass 2.  The 3rd expression is in the 1st ending.  It sets the volume back to 110 on pass1.  No matter what I do, I can take out either of the expressions setting the volume to 110, but no matter what, when it plays the expression to set the volume to 0, it sets it back to 0 on each pass, not just the first.  I've tried several variations to get it to work.  I went back to 2014 and it works fine.  Please advise if I'm missing something.
