Edirol Fa66 & Garageband Digital Recording

How do I get digital sound output from Garageband using the audio interface "Edirol FA66"? I connected my guitar to the interface and the interface is connected to my Mac via Firewire. Mac recognizes the interface, and I can play/record the guitar if I use a real instrument track in Garageband, but I cannot get output at all if I use a software instrument track. I thought that connecting the interface to mac is the same as connecting a MIDI keyboard to Mac(in this case I can use a software instrument track without any problem.)

Mp3 File Recording

I have heard that you can save audio files on a web page onto your MP3 files. How do you do that? Do you need a specific software to do that? I only have QuickTimePro, and Garageband at the moment.

Finale Notepad

I am a finale notepad beginner(mac user) and have a few basic questions. Question1: How do you draw the end lines (two vertical lines) at the end of the measure of your last measure of your song?
(NotePad only tells you how to draw repeat lines.) Question 2: Sometimes you write a piece in the way that the first measure's length is shorter than the rest of the piece, e.g. for example, if your piece is 4/4 and the first measure has only three eights notes or something. in this case, you need to insert a sort of "end lines?" (twro vertical lines, I don't know the terminology here) to indicate that there is no notes missing. I can draw a vertical line right next to a line Notepad automatically creates, but in this way, notepad plays the first measure as if it is 4/4 long. How do you draw such a line that Notepad understands my intention? Question3: As in Q2, I tried to write three eights notes and wanted leave the first eighth note independent and put the second and third note together by having "bar notes"(sorry, I don't know the tech. term). But Finale automatically connect the first two notes and leave the third independent. How do you change it? I guess if I knew the terminology I can search use help, but I cannot even search well yet
