Since installing the update, can't get Finale to see any of the JW plug-ins. Any of you having the same issue?

The plug-ins are Intel code: you're running Finale as Apple Silicon native (which is new in 27.2).

Plug-ins must have the same CPU code type as the app that hosts them. You will need to run Finale in Rosetta mode (e.g. using its Intel code) to run Intel plug-ins. (Get Info on the application, click the checkbox.)

The same goes for audio plug-ins like NotePerformer that are Intel only.

Makes sense. It worked on my M1 Mac before the latest update- guess finale was (automatically) running in Rosetta.

Thanks!
