      If you are a real composer (you make something meaningfull, have an education in composing or something that matches in experience) , you can take a look at sonolize.com
      You will get more then the little fee of Hal Leonard Publishing.
      Sonolize offers you 70 %, that’s a lot more then 10 %.
      Most of my pieces are published by sonolize.
      First I make a score in Encore (for example).
      Then I export the file as pfd.
      I separate the pdf in pages.
      I place it in Swift Publisher.
      I Make an pdf file again and put it on sonolize with an audio file or midi file.
      Than you have to sell it, to people that like or play your music.Take a look at my pieces to understand.
      All made with Encore 5,Old computer, G5. I have two of them, together with the Mac mini. THAT HAS A LOT OF MORE POWER.

              You are very right. Is it the Realbook or the Fakebook?

                Once upon a time…

                I can even remember that there was a handy manual and a shortcut chart with all commands.

                    Dear Don,

                    It sounds very exiting, as I already told, I’m a user from the floppy-time, and I’m using Encore 5 still on an old Mac G5.
                    Of course the price is not a issue for a wonderful program.
                    Can you tell us when we can place our order? For download, I expect.
                    Please stay in a good mood and Merry X-mas!

                      The same for me – from floppy-time till discontinued I used Encore, still have the 5-version on my old G5 (working).
                      Can’t wait and hope that I can use my old Encore skills on the new V6!
                      Please keep us informed, Don, and best wishes for X-mas and of course a happy New Encore!

                          Great to hear! I hope it’s still as intuitive as the old Encore with new funcionalities and without the bugs.
                          Good luck with the development! Can’t wait to try it out. Will it be possible
                          to read/write the old Encore files as well?
                          Thanks you very much.

                            Great! Will there be a discount for old users who toke the time and remained their believe in Encore 6?
                            At this moment I’m testing Dorico but still use the old Encore, intuitive and ahead for his time. Invisible frames, just drag and drop, full of bugs but who cares when your working with a program for decades…

                              I’ve send two mails to Sonic Scores, but I didn’t get an answer yet.
                              Maybe it will help if we all send a mail to Sonic Scores to put them at work!

                                When you make an extract part, leave the option compressed rests out. You get your extract part with all the rests. Then make the compressed rests manually, start at the end of the piece. When it doesn’t work, make a new file with the desired amount of compressed rests. Then, copy and paste it in your extract part and delete whatever you want to leave out. This is the recipe for good compressed rests. It took me some time, but I can make it perfect now, without imperfections.
                                What was your solution?

                                Still hope that there is a version 6 coming….. In The Netherlands, the winter is over, spring has started….
