Music notation software for M1

The Finale program I was using on my older MacBook Pro to write music is not yet compatible with the new M1 Mac, and it doesn't look like anybody's in any hurry to make it so. Has anyone with an M1 Mac had any success with other music notation programs to create scores? (If I had known this was going to be a long-term problem, I might have gone over to the Dark Side.)

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

Finale v26.3.1 (upgrade) is available for Big Sur on an M1 Mac via Rosetta2 emulation. Avid's Sibelius v2021.2 or later is supported via Rosetta2 emulation on M1 macs.
