Perhaps the problem is Mojave. None of the 32bit versions are supposed to work at all but, if you had them installed over Sierra or earlier and then upgraded the macOS, 2012 and 2014.5 work with li...
2012's xml and Dolet do use a Java engine but I don't remember it requiring the Java 6 runtime from Apple. Many apps did, however, and this cannot be obtained from Sun/Oracle. Apple still has it av...

All of these questions have been answered in many threads over the last few days. 27.4.1.146 is the last build and includes MusicXML 4.O. This is recommended for exporting to Dorico. If the cross...
