      In Encore 5.0.4.875 I have found that under SCORE, {Midi Device/Instrument Settings} that the Device box in not showing the name of the Instruments. Its blank. I reinstalled the same Encore 5.0.4.875 about five times and the same thing occurred. An empty Midi Device/Instrument Settings box is empty and no instruments are showing but everything else is ok. So I will like to know if there is a solution to fix the problem? Please Help!

      Yes, it happens that (for a new score, or a new staff), the “Device preset type” (in Midi device and instrument settings) is initialized with “Generic” or some other empty list.
      Click on that field, and select, as a base, “Generic Midi” (you may have to scroll up a little to find it).

      If you find in the list the exact description of your synthesizer, feel free to us it, of course.

        the Device box in not showing the name of the Instruments. Its blank.

        Andre has already explained everything.
        I would be interested to know whether the device list is completely empty or whether there are numbers there.

          I would like to see a screen shot, and the .enc file. My mail address can be derived from my user name here.

            Under “Programs (x86)” you will find the program folder “Encore-5.0.4”. If you open this folder, you will see various subfolders. Among them there must also be a folder called “Device”. All MIDI instruments should be stored here.
            If this is not the case, I can send you a link where you can find all the instruments. Simply open the downloaded ZIP file and copy the contents into the “Device” folder under Encore-xxx. If there is no device folder, please create one first. The instruments should now appear.
