The new Finale v27.2 Update and NotePerformer 3.3.2 work fine together on Intel Macs and Apple Silicon when 27.2 is opened in Rosetta 2. Since NotePerformer 3.3.2 is not a Native app, there are no surprises here.
There are issues when trying to run the two on an M1 in Native mode. The two workarounds I've found are a) run Get Info on Finale and check the box Open using Rosetta or b) uninstall NotePerformer by going to Library/Application Support/Noteperformer and double-clicking on Uninstall NotePerformer.command — this launches a Terminal Command that removes NP (no need to reboot). You will need to reassign your tracks to MIDI or AUs.
For my M1 over Rosetta, I had to run the NP 3.3.2 installer again after the 27.2 install before Finale saw it — that may or may not have been a fluke.
