Kevin:
I think you have it exactly right. The options in the VI matrix appear to be such that, with a little practice, you can learn to set up the matrices optimally for whatever you have written. Unless the piece is very, very compex, it appears that you will be able to easily set it up with all the articulations you would need for any given instrument. Of course, you would need a separate instance for 1st and 2nd violins or whatever, but it appears that it will still be much easier than VSL and GS3. Since we've recently learned that we can use our notation programs to send the keyswitch commands, that problem also seems workable. Add the RAM saving feature and it looks like you've got the ability to make a lot of music much more easily than before.
Be well,
Poppa
