Will Finale and Staff Pad be ready for it, with the iCloud in between for XML Imports between iPad and Mac?

My other concern is the Timing Of My Purchase - Mac OS 11, a.k.a. I've read many Reviews on Staff Pad for iPad at Apple Apps Store, and saw a lot criticism about the handwriting recognition! Of course that is a concern, because it's the Music Handwriting Entry that is a big attraction to me! At the same time, I saw that Staff Pad for iPad was named as One of The Top Ten Apps at WWDC 2020! It'd be great if anyone on here, or elsewhere on Finale Forum, already has first-hand experience with this product, StaffPad and Reader for iPad! I wonder which ''nuances' will or will not survive during such XML Export-Import round trips? I am going to watch that 27 min Video again, and try to think of any and all questions that might come up during that workflow! And vs., Export XML back to Staff Pad, if I need to make edits and additions on-the-go!

Then Import XML into my Finale 26.3.1.643, that's running on my MacBook Pro 15вЂ™, Late 2017, macOS 10.15.4. This product looks amazing! I am considering buying the top model of iPad Pro, and Apple Pencil 2, so that I can use it for Music Handwriting Entry anywhere, including on-the-go. StaffPad and Reader for iPad collaborating with Finale, XML Imports etc. That said, as mentioned in #2, it would likely be nontrivial and until much more developed, would be a suboptimal program (even Office took a long time to really gain reasonably usability and functionality on iOS, as in several years). So I'm not entirely sure why, with proper resources, Finale couldn't be ported to iOS. Even Office works reasonably well on iOS.

That said, Finale is honestly one of the only apps for which I really need my MacBook Pro (the others being Reason and a professional referencing program I use for work called Bookends).

It would take a lot, I suspect, to get something on iOS that retains a reasonable amount of functionality. For starters, there are enough issues with Finale on the Mac that are longstanding and partly because Finale is a pretty complex program. I'm not sure how easily it would be to port it to iOS.

It was only to view scores, had a ridiculously convoluted and unfriendly/unusable way to get Finale files into the app from the Mac side, and couldn't do anything really that I couldn't already do by viewing a score as a PDF.

they did have a really lame version of Finale for the iPad many years ago.
