Does anyone know how to change channels in Finale on the playback list because I try to change it and then it changes all the string parts to the same channel; in other words, it won't let me have independent channels for the string orchestra.

Hi Mike,
To fix this you need to create a new instrument. Go to Window->Instrument List and scroll down to your strings. You'll see that it has it split into columns (Staff Name, Vol, Pan, etc). Look for the column entitled "Instrument" and for any of them, click the pulldown menu. Scroll to the top of it and click "New Instrument."
Here you can define a name (for example Strings 2) and then choose a different channel. You also need to specify the General MIDI patch that will be used, in your case String Ensemble 1. When you're finished, click ok and you're good to go!
Hope this helped.
Brilliant harmonization btw!
