I use Finale v. 2012 for Mac for several years. Now I'm using it with Mac OS El Capitan.
Anyone knows if it works ok with Mac OS Catalina?

That would be no, it doesn’t work.

Not no, he doesn’t know! :D

I think someone reported running Finale in a Windows virtual machine on their Mac. Then you could run any version of Finale.

Or indeed in a VM of an earlier MacOS version. I have Finale 2009, 2011 and 2012 all running in Mountain Lion using Parallels.

PS: Admins, we could probably lose the Mojave sticky!

Oh, duh! That's probably less problematic than Windows.

I also have an app that emulates the old Classic Mac OS, so that I can run Finale 2000, and see how much has changed in 20 years. (And how much hasn't.... :lol: )
