MakeMusic has released Finale version 27.4, the fourth update to Finale v27. The main objective of this update is to provide official support for running Finale under macOS Sonoma (macOS 14). Finale is a universal binary application, meaning it will run natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.) as well as older Macs with Intel processors.Subsequent to the November 29, 2023 release of v27.4, on December 12, 2023 MakeMusic released Finale v27.4.1, a hot fix update to address several issues in the v27.4 release.The v27.4 update is the first update to Finale in more than a year. In addition to ensuring compatibility with Sonoma and addressing any issues specific to that OS, Finale v27.4 adds some small but helpful items and fixes some longtime bugs.Finale v27.4, running in macOS SonomaThe videoJason conquers this update with a new “Conquering Finale” video.

Documented on Scoring Notes with workarounds, the current Finale forum, and the old Finale forum, this truly qualifies as a longstanding issue, and it is very nice to see it addressed.In Finale v27.4, there is a new option in the Print dialog that should hopefully solve this problem once and for all. In Finale Print Options, in the Print: section, there is a new Use RGB option. Uncheck this box to ensure that the PDFs that you
