Well, the other way around this would be to install Parallels, Windows
XP, and then figure out what version of Finale you want to run under it.
Finale works fine under Parallels. I have to use 2006 under Parallels to
make SmartMusic stuff because MakeMusic STILL hasn't updated that
program to support files from Finale 2007.
Talk about lame.......MakeMusic dropped the ball there..........

John,
Obviously the version makes an ENORMOUS difference.
- Versions of Finale prior to Fin2004 cannot be run at all because
Classic is not supported (though Robert Patterson suggested there may
be unsupported workarounds to get Classic running on Intel Macs -- I
have not yet looked into this).
- Finale 2004 and 2005 will run in Rosetta (emulation), but cannot be
registered. Apparently some people have worked some specific voodoo to
get around this problem, which basically involves tricking Finale into
thinking it is registered when it isn't.
- Finale 2006d will run in Rosetta, at least theoretically. I have run
Fin2006d on this machine before with no problems (beyond the standard
ones with Rosetta). But now it always crashes on launch. I'm not sure
what caused the change.
- Finale 2007 (all flavors) is a Universal Binary and runs beautifully
on Intel Macs. I have a lot of issues with Fin2007, but the
performance is simply amazing (especially coming from a G4 Mac mini).
- Sibelius runs in Rosetta (emulation). There is no Universal version
of Sibelius yet.
Cheers,
- Darcy
