I'm about to make a leap from Sierra (Mac) to either Mojave or Catalina. This means updating various other components and also the MacPro 5,1 video card.

My question is, is there a clear preference in respect of performance for Finale v26 – any known issues with either OS?

Thanks for any reassurance.

According to the MakeMusic site, Finale 26 is compatible with Mojave (it is my setup). For Catalina, just make sure you update Finale to 26.3.1.

Thanks for the thought. What a company says about compatability and the reality can often be a different matter! I think maybe I'll go in stages and update to Mojave first.
