when creating an expression to do 2nd time only playback, it seems to only work if you don't have rests.  For example, I made an expression to set the volume to 0 on pass 1 only.  Then another expression to tell it to set volume to 100 on the 2nd pass.  It works fine unless I put in a measure that has rests towards the end of the measure.  Then during playback, the next measure after the rest, Finale sets the volume back to 100 by itself on the 1st pass.  It should leave the volume to 0 until it sees another expression setting the volume back to 100.  I am using V26.3 on windows.
