Hi all,

Although the app itself has been Intel-native since 2007, the installer appears to have been PPC up until the 2010b release. I don't have details on why this is, but if you were to try installing any version of Finale from the vanilla version of 2010 back, you would not be able to do so. Any version of Finale that's already installed when the OS is upgraded to Lion will continue to run, but you may run into issues as only 2010, 2011 and 2012 are supported on Lion.

Thanks!

Chris

This is wrong, actually. Finale has been Intel-native since Finale 2007, and all of those versions are usable under Snow Leopard. It's only Finale 2006 and earlier that are PowerPC only and require Rosetta.

If you do need to reinstall, check the disc and make sure it has the 'b' update (it will say version B on the disc). If you don't have this, give us a call at 800-843-2066 and we can get you an updated disc for installation on Lion.

I have several important Finale files that were created in Finale 2010 and I would like to keep working on them in 2010, mainly because they involve some strange custom staff optimizations with deliberately-hidden staves containing entries, and when I try to work on these files in Finale 2011 or later it becomes a real pain in the you-know-what.
