This is the answer that I got from Sonic Scores:
Can’t really say when Encore 6 will be release, because we are working on a much larger project, that is not finished.
But is is in the works.Sonic Scores
My opinion: I think indeed that they will first work on Overture 6, and Encore 6 will come after that with a little tast of Overture in it…
That will be in WINTER 2024! Or maybe later…Let’s hope they put more care into their software programming than they do into their spell-checking and customer service. I have my doubts.
That’s what I meant. Both projects are being worked on and this is delaying completion.
Overture users are probably also eagerly awaiting an update after the last one was in December 2019.
I’m still quite confident about that…
Because as the German saying goes: Good things take time. 🙂Waiting (almost forever) is fine for young people, but for those of us who are over 70, it becomes a joke. I think the majority have already migrated to other programs that are properly served.
You’re quite right that waiting is not very useful for older people.
But I think Don is probably the same in our age group. So I hope that Don is still young enough to finish Encore 6 😉I’m confused. If the same person is developing Overture and now (again) Encore, and updates are being programmed for both, how would the two programs be different? Why market two?
How? Time needed apart, a person can very well work on two different programs, with or without file compatibility.
Why? Perhaps, making one single program meant to combine the strength of two would just create two sets of unhappy people.
My personal opinion is that, simply a project to have Overture reading the Encore/MTdL source files would have been seen as sufficient for the Encore users, given that, 2(3?) years go, Encore was seen as dead and buried.
I was recently on the Sonic Scores website and saw that a new program called “Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra” has been released.
This is probably one of the reasons why Overture and Encore have been delayed.Neyac2021, please don’t shout on us. The users of this forum are all, just as you, waiting for progress, though unable to say much more.
Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra was released a long time ago.
“If the same person is developing Overture and now (again) Encore, and updates are being programmed for both, how would the two programs be different? Why market two?”
Don Williams was the original developer of Encore but hadn’t been involved with it for decades. My understanding is that Encore 6 and Overture 6 will share a number of features. They may even become as one but that is supposed to happen down the road — if it happens at all.
4 years ago I tested Overture as a replacement for Encore when I bought a Mac M1, confident in the convergence between the two applications… It was a huge nightmare, nothing looks the same, the logic isn’t the same! I turned to Musescore, which corresponded much more closely to my expectations, those of an intensive user for over thirty years! The migration wasn’t easy but now I won’t go back, especially if I know that Overture and Encore are likely to merge in the long term!
My two cents !!!
