I agree with those are worried, but not about the delay, but about a page that is not update with any news in one year…
If some issues have caused a delay for the release of the app why not update us ?
In my opinion the project is abandoned, this web address will be online until the related payment will expire. Then… goodbye.
Prove me wrong.Just buy a 2011 Macbook Air for $80 on Ebay and install Encore, that is what I am doing,
It runs great on that computer.“ The learning curve for Sibelius is looking more and more enticing!”
You should download the demo, of course. I also recommend checking out Finale.
The most “Encore like” app is Overture, also written by Don Williams. There’s a demo so have a look. Don has posted over there that Overture 6, when it is ready, will open Encore 5 files.
“ Just buy a 2011 Macbook Air for $80 on Ebay and install Encore, that is what I am doing,

There are many features that work better but the fact that the Barlines dialog box displays correctly was enough for me.
Encore 5.0.7 runs much, much better over Mojave. All Macs introduced 2012–2018 will run Mojave. 2012 iMacs, Minis and MacBooks are cheap on eBay and Craigslist etc. The only downside is that the mechanical hard drives are often failing but they’re easy to replace (1TB MX500 is $47 on Amazon). I have a couple 2012 MacBook Pros that I just took in and upgraded with SSDs.
If Encore 6 does not arrive before I get my Mac Studio, I will keep one of those 2012s and use it with an MDP cable hooked up to one of my 27” monitors just to run Encore.
Indeed, I use Sibelius and Finale both now. No problem. If Encore EVER is released, they’ll need a demo version for me to even check it out. Certainly not going to lay down any hard cash for a ‘whatever unsupported software’ with it’s past and current history of non-communication and non-support.
Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me.

I have downloaded Overture5. I like it. I like it a lot more than Finale, Sibelius, and Muscore. How about importing my Encore scores? Has that been resolved?George
Just checked in for my monthly “NOTE: At this time there are no products being sold or none to be downloaded. This will only occur when Encore 6 is released.” Maybe should check every 2 months. Wouldn’t make any difference, still be “NOTE: At this time there are no products being sold or none to be downloaded. This will only occur when Encore 6 is released.” I’m starting to think there’s a lot of sovereign citizens and flatearthers inhabiting the Encore universe. Who after years of no support, stay with an decade departed outdated software, because, unlike millions of Finale and Sibelius users, are ‘unable to learn new things’. Sadder still, they’ll find out that Encore 6 is going to be a learning curve too. But not soon. Finshed another score in Finale while typing this derision letter. Why derision? Well, if Don Williams isn’t supporting you, why would anyone else?
