Or are we all just (expletive) into the wind?
January 3, 2023 at 7:46 am #1604Mario2ParticipantI think that due to the holidays, not much work was done from December 21, so the release of Encore will most likely be delayed until January 2023.
Besides, Encore users are a very long-suffering people as far as waiting times are concerned šApril 29, 2023 at 4:26 pm #1817mrklarinetParticipantFour months laterā¦
May 8, 2023 at 7:50 pm #1841Mike HalloranParticipantHow many other apps out there that havenāt had a paid upgrade in 15 years or an incremental update in 9 years have users waiting for a new version?
Me too, BTW. I just hope it retains the easy of use that keeps me using it (or most of it, at least).
May 18, 2023 at 1:12 pm #1854RoarkParticipantThis sounds like an awful lot to me and perhaps explains a little, in addition to Don having a personal life?!
From About Us Page:
“Don plans to keep Passport Music software running as a separate entity while reviving both Encore and Master Tracks Pro along with working on his other projects at Sonic Scores.”May 19, 2023 at 8:25 am #1855iMaurizioParticipantReading this thread
http://sonicscores.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=22497&start=15it seems that Overture hasn’t received updates for a long time either.
June 17, 2023 at 10:17 am #1875DrGeorgeMiklasParticipantJune 2023: ZzZzZzZzZzZz still snoozing and patiently waiting for Encore 6. Come on Don, I continue to lose my work every time Encore 5.0.4.875 crashes.

June 23, 2023 at 12:11 am #1882Mike HalloranParticipantAlthough I like Encore for many reasons, I refuse to lose work. Fortunately, 5.0.7 for Mac almost never crashes. Problem is that I must shut down and boot from a different drive or run it from my laptop with a 27ā external monitor. Often the time so set it up outweighs the savings I see by using Encore. Then there are the terrible slurs.
I like Encore for the quick charts I need to knock out but I can use Overture/Finale/Dorico if I need to and the layout looks better when Iām doneātakes longer, however. I am not a fan of Notion and strongly dislike MuseScore & Sibelius.
Encore has never been a practical choice for heavy lifting or publication. For praise band charts, church choir rehearsal, lead sheets etc. Encore is perfect which is why I want version 6. Itās not the only game in town and I refuse to let it get in my way.
June 24, 2023 at 5:49 pm #1884Mike HalloranParticipantA friend contacted me yesterday for a recommendation. She had been running Finale notePad, a free version that was discontinued after 2012. Her new Win computer won’t run it and she has learned how useless MuseScore is for her work.
If Encore 6 existed, I would have steered her there in a heartbeat since it would be perfect for her needs. Instead, I recommended Finale 27 ā like recommending a tourniquet for a mosquito bite but it will do what she wants with a workflow she already understands, even if it is waaaaay overkill for her needs as a piano teacher and church accompanist. With academic pricing, I expect the cost to be about the same either way.
Encore 5 will no longer run on my wife’s Mac, of course, so she has begun to explore Finale and has started to figure it out, also. Since I am in house tech support, her learning curve impacts my time.
Gotta move along and get the work done, right?
June 27, 2023 at 12:01 pm #1887Andrea PellegriniParticipantIs it possible to buy an older Encore version like 5 or 4.5? Thanks.
June 28, 2023 at 1:21 pm #1889iMaurizioParticipantNo. If you read the NOTE on the main page it says:
“At this time there are no products being sold or none to be downloaded.
This will only occur when Encore 6 is released.”June 30, 2023 at 2:44 am #1891FortepianoParticipantE’ da tempo che lo scrivo qui e lo ripeto. ENCORE 6 NON LO VEDREMO MAI
July 3, 2023 at 7:22 am #1892lekbennerParticipantI don’t think we will ever see Encore at this rate
July 3, 2023 at 7:24 am #1893lekbennerParticipantmy wife used music time deluxe for many years and when her computer died she had to get a new one and that would not run that program any more. We are hoping that Enore 6 will run on the new mac’s and that Encore 6 will be able to open the old music time deluxe files.
July 6, 2023 at 4:35 pm #1898Mike HalloranParticipantItās what we all want.
