All I can tell you is that a few years ago I attempted to install Finale 2001 on a Linux machine using Wine and was unsuccessful. It installed fine, but I couldn't get the fonts to work. Just now I attempted to install 2001 again on a machine running Ubuntu 8.10 and it runs perfectly, the fonts showing and all (MIDI playback doesn't seem to work, but that's not unexpected).
One thing I had to do to install it that I had to figure out on my own was instead of referencing the install program by its absolute path (wine /media/Finale2001/SETUP.EXE), I had to use "wine D\:\\SETUP.EXE". With newer versions of Finale, you may experience issues trying to install and run it with wine, but older versions may work better.
