26/9/2024 : Retours d'expérience sur la compatibilité entre Finale et MacOs 15 Sequoia
10 jours après la sortie de McOs Sequoia (MacOs 15), un premier point sur la compatibilité avec Finale.
D'abord, toujours cette mise en garde : prudence si vous envisagez de remplacer votre MacOs actuel par Sequoia.
Pour tester Sequoia sans risque, rappelons qu'il y a moyen, à côté du MacOs installé sur votre disque interne (Sonoma,...), de créer un volume de démarrage distinct (interne, ou externe) équipé de Sequoia. Vous aurez toujours le choix de démarrer votre Mac sur un MacOs ou sur l'autre en cas de problème avec un programme (Finale ou un autre). Lire le premier message.
Voici les retours d'expérience collectés sur divers forums, dans les premiers jours qui ont suivi la sortie de MacOs Sequoia.
1) Sur le forum "Finalisons !" : aucun retour d'expérience.
2) Sur 2 forums américains et plusieurs pages Facebook (concernant la version anglaise) : à ce jour, les utilisateurs de Finale qui ont installé Sequoia ne signalent aucun problème !
Il n'est pas exclu que des dysfonctionnements soient encore découverts ("le diable est dans les détails"), mais à ce stade, aucun problème concernant la compatibilité entre Finale et Sequoia n'est rapporté.
Voici 18 témoignages pour ceux qui lisent l'anglais. Ils sont unanimes à 100%.

FWIW, F27 seems to run fine for me (or at least no different from Sonoma..) Though I haven't tested it extensively.

Despite MM's email, I have not experienced nor have I read about a problem with the new OS and Finale.
I absolutely agree on waiting till Apple gets the kinks out and one has a need before upgrading the macOS.
Eric Dannewitz (16/9/2024)
Seriously people, Finale works on sequoia. I’ve been running it since the betas on intel, m1 and m3 Mac’s. Works fine
Steve Gruver (16/9/2024)
It works fine on the new OS.

Here's my experience thus far :
I installed Finale 27.4 in a VM (Virtual Machine) running macOS Sequoia 15.0 RC and ran it for about 15 minutes using various Finale example files (choral, full band, full orchestra). I did not notice any significant issues while running under those conditions. Stock Garritan sounds and player worked as expected. My testing was not very deep or thorough, but initial indicators are quite positive.
David Toub (17/9/2024)
Agreed but on my real CPU not a VM. Everything works; Finale, audio plugins including SoundSource, etc. I have not found anything that didn’t work with Sequoia.
Brian Monroe (16/9/2024)
I’ve been on 15 for two months now. I have encountered no problem.
Michael Willis (16/9/2024)
Finale works fine with Sequoia
Jessica McCutchen (17/9/2024)
I just updated to Sequoia and it's working just fine!
Martin Kennedy (18/9/2024)
For what it's worth, I just updated to Sequoia and Finale runs just fine.
Rudy Paul Lupinski (18/9/2024)
So far, it has been working for me, too
Mike Halloran (19/9/2024)
Been running it on a test Volume for months—long before the announcement, in fact. No problems found with Finale over Sequoia. Many issues with 3rd party plug-ins. NotePerformer 4 is fine. I’m running a Sequoia APFS Volume on my M2 Studio Ultra. Unlike a VM, it’s the same as running at the root level—they are “real CPU”s. My other Volume boots into Sonoma 14.7.
Michael Dodd (20/9/2024)
I'm currently running Finale on Mac OS Sequoia with my Mac Studio. So far I have not experienced an issue. Really wondering what this "Not compatible" thing is.
Nick Sower (20/9/2024)
Finale v.27.x is working just fine on my MBP with macOS 15. I’m starting to suspect that the recommendation to move to Dorico was a marketing ploy.
David Toub (22/9/2024)
I'm not finding any issues so far with Sequoia and Finale
Richard Peters (23/9/2024
So far there have been no problems. But back everything up 1st of course.
Christoph Glantschnig (23/9/2024)
Finale 27.4 works very good with Sequoia
Esteban Hernández Castelló (26/9/2024)
My Finale 27 works perfectly with Sequoia
