So are any of you guys using Catalina yet? Is it working with DP and other related apps? (Altiverb, Garritan libraries, Keyboard Maestro?)

I also have it on my test machine. Catalina does a few things better but not where DP is concerned.bayswater wrote:I have a Catalina test volume. Most stuff I use works, although some older things I don't use much don't work, and I don't expect them to be updated. But I haven't changed to Catalina because I haven't found anything it does better.

Encore is faster for me one-handed but it’s still 32 bit, dammit. I’ll switch off doing my charts in both for the next few weeks to see if I can find a workflow that… uh… works for me. Overture and Notion are out of the running.
Ooooo... that does look interesting. Think I'll try the iOS version with my iPad first—if that works out, I can decide if I want to add the hardware.leigh wrote:Notation Express https://www.nycmusicservices.com/notation-express/ and a StreamDeck https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck might let Dorico work for you.mikehalloran wrote:

I had to play that game with an Adobe app. Fortunately, I was able to use APFS Snapshots to roll my system back a few hours, authorize, then reinstall Catalina. WT...???? A month later, this was fixed but still... Part of the growing pains for certain.I can't get it authorized since Avid License Control is 32-bit.
Thank you for that. Do you type it just as you have shown, with spaces and all?bayswater wrote:This is the terminal command to turn off Catalina update notifications.

Usually best to get the Terminal app running, then copy and paste the command. It's not a good idea to make errors in Terminal commands. It's unforgiving. You will probably have to give it your password.Rick Averill wrote:Thank you for that.

You are a scholar, and probably, and gentleman. Or possibly gentlewoman. But thank you, either way.bayswater wrote:This is the terminal command to turn off Catalina update notifications.
