Well, my version keeps crashing out under 10.8.5 because of some plugin that it is trying to load that Finale 2012 has no problem with. So, I dunno if it is going to be stable.
Midi interface might work, though it is an Avid/M-Audio product, and they recently sold off a lot of the M-Audio stuff to another company and Avid has really NEVER been good about updating or providing a timely update to drivers. So that might be an issue. If you are going to get a new Mac, spending the $100 or so to upgrade to 2012 of Finale is a very minor cost.
