27.2 and NotePerformer on Apple Silicon
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2022 12:22 am
The new Finale v27.2 Update and NotePerformer 3.3.2 work fine together on Intel Macs and Apple Silicon but only when 27.2 is opened in Rosetta 2. Since NotePerformer 3.3.2 is not a Native app, there are no surprises here.
If you run Get Info on Finale 27.2 and uncheck the box Open using Rosetta on a file where you had been calling NotePerformer, Finale will freeze causing you to Force Quit. The two workarounds I've found are a) run Get Info on Finale and check the box Open using Rosetta or b) uninstall NotePerformer by going to Library/Application Support/Noteperformer and double-clicking on Uninstall NotePerformer.command — this launches a Terminal Command that removes NP (no need to reboot). You will need to reassign your tracks to MIDI or AUs.
For my M1 over Rosetta, I had to run the NP 3.3.2 installer again after 27.2 Before saw it. That may or may not have been a fluke. YMMV
