I’m a user of Encore since it was released on floppy. Later on, I had it on disk and it was updated by Internet.
I still use it on an old Mac G5 from 2005! I hope that the Version 6 comes quickly. I’m already busy with musescore, a fine program too, and for free.
Yet, I like Encore more and I have a few old Macs that can handle the program. I had some serious problems with the compressed rests, but finally solved this.
Does anyone else had the same problems?Yes, I remember that the compressed rests function did not always work correctly, but by accepting those imperfections it was generally possible to achieve the desired result 😉
When you make an extract part, leave the option compressed rests out. You get your extract part with all the rests. Then make the compressed rests manually, start at the end of the piece. When it doesn’t work, make a new file with the desired amount of compressed rests. Then, copy and paste it in your extract part and delete whatever you want to leave out. This is the recipe for good compressed rests. It took me some time, but I can make it perfect now, without imperfections.
What was your solution?Still hope that there is a version 6 coming….. In The Netherlands, the winter is over, spring has started….
“”When you make an extract part, leave the option compressed rests out. “”
Yes, I generally acted this way too. By the way, even when there was some unexpected behavior, the decompression and subsequent re-compression of the empty bars normalized the situation. I must say that on MacOS Mojave the program was/is particularly stable.
Hello everybody. Its good to read your advices. I use Encore since the eights, and I’m anxious for the version 6.
I bought a new iMac with M1 and my Encore doesn’t work on it. So I bought an old iMac where it works. I’m in front of 2 iMacs for many years.
Passport would Bernardo embarrassed for that advice saying “Available Winter 2023”
Here in Brazil we are in winter 2024. On the north side of the earth you are in Summer 2024, aren’t you?
Passport need to give us an explanationFor me any line above a compressed rest cannot be selected and therefore cannot be modified so I usually have to push around the compressed rest so it isn’t below the line I’m trying to edit. Uncompressing the rests, editing, then recompressing is an option too but I find using ] and [ to change the # of measures in the current line is easier and faster (which can “push” the compressed rest away). In order to prevent this from happening at all I would probably not use compressed rest as suggested but begin creating compressed rest after everything else is done and start at the top (not at the end).
There may be some other bug influencing the opposite suggestion – I can’t think of what that would be though.
I can’t speak for the release date other than to agree that the target is grossly missed without any information as to when the real release is destined for. You could say 2035 and not be wrong or it could announce in a month. I wouldn’t get too invested in solving this riddle for personal health reasons. For me, if I’m still able to benefit from Encore — I’ll be happy to check it out when it does finally get released.
