Great! Thank you for your detailed answer. I use Cubase 11, and also have Vienna Ensemble Pro 7. But with Synchron libraries, I am thinking of using only Cubase.

Not including the shorts is the primary reason I didn't install the Optimized version. The shorts to me are the best sounding, and most useful articulations that can improve Synchron Strings Pro, not the legatos.
Since I got Synchron Strings Pro, I deleted Synchron Strings I (Full) from my SSD. So, I'm not using it, that's why I would like to get the Optimized version of Synch. Str I , if it included the shorts. I do not like the Legatos in Synchron Strings I, the Legatos of Synchron Strings Pro are much better. So, I have no desire to use Synch. Strs. I longs/legatos.
I use Studio One Pro 5, which has the Sound-Variation feature very nicely integrated with VSL Synchron Player, so they automatically appear in S1 Pro 5, and even if I have my own custom patches, with articulations in the Tree, they automatically populate the Sound-Variations of S1 Pro 5. So, Articulation management is fantastic. You just select the notes you want and assign the articulation you need for them from the Sound-Variation list window.
I'm not sure what DAW you use, but Studio One Pro 5 has imho the best articulation management system with VSL Synchron Player, because both companies developed it together to make sure they work perfectly, and communicate bi-directionally.
