What is your font, Marc? What if you go from your font to Maestro, then to Finale Maestro (then to other SMuFL font!)..?
Yes, Finale goes slightly "off-SMuFL" with its implementation of bracketed accidentals. By default, it looks for a single character comprising the accidental and both brackets, in the range U+F5D5 ...
Have you installed the JSON file that accompanies it? SMuFL fonts have a metadata file (sort of like a FAN) that contains various additional information that can't be stored in the font, such as st...

What are the chances that such an "annual service fee" would be less, per seat, than the cost of buying upgrade licences every two years or so?
The Garritan Instruments for Finale are an introductory sub-set of the Garritan repertoire, designed to give Finale a basic set of sounds, but also as a 'taster' to purchasing the separate libraries.
It works fine here. Monterey doesn't include many major changes or red lines from Big Sur. (MacOSes tend to go in pairs, where the second one consolidates (or completes) the changes made in the fir...
The text in a Finale PDF -- titling, lyrics, expressions -- should already be text, and be searchable. (Though it may depend on how you made it.) Obviously, there will be a lot of 'noise' from the ...
It's not so much the players, as the libraries. Do the libraries work out of the box, applying staccatos, trills, dynamics and everything? Surely if they use different key switches and CCs from Gar...
Apart from Garritan and Noteperformer, I don't think that any other sample libraries provide the 'coupling' for their products to work 'well and easily' with Finale. I could be wrong. (E.g. which K...
