I have been using Finale on Mac OS Sequoia 15.2 with no problems. Now Apple has released Sequoia 15.3. Does anyone know if Finale will continue to work with 15.3? BTW - I already purchased an older MacBook Pro (with Mac OS Sonoma), loaded Finale 27 on it, and will keep it as a back-up when/if needed. That computer will not be connected to the Internet. I also set up a partition on my current MacBook Pro, loaded Sonoma and Finale 27 on it so that I can continue using Finale while I slog through Dorico.

I doubt there was much that changed between .2 to .3 that would affect Finale. It's mostly all the AI stuff and bug fixes.

I went ahead and installed 15.3 and so far so good with Finale 27 on a 2019 Mac Pro (Intel). If your Mac is Apple Silicon you may want to wait for confirmation that it works with that platform.

Thank you, Mark for posting about this. I too have a MacBook Pro with the Intel chip and was worried about this update. I have already heard of other users having issues.

To clarify... By other users, I am not exactly sure if they have the same set up we do. I believe they may have Apple silicon or maybe even some running windows.

No problems were expected; none found.

 

macOS 15.3 and and Sonoma 14.7.3 fixed a few minor but very annoying bugs introduced with 15.2 (and Sonoma 14.7.2). It affected Text.app and a few others. As I complained to Apple Engineering, "Text? Really? It's been flawless since 1986 on my Mac Plus!"

 

All better now.
