    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.

    It is possible to hack the MacOS on a 2011 so that it can run 10.14 Mojave. If you’ve not done this, Google it for any of the videos or web sites that explain how. 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.
