    Indeed, the manual shows how to hide bracket/figure, but only for quarter notes (and up, probably); for eighth notes (and shorter), only when beamed.

    In any case, omitting the tuplet figure is an outdated bad habit, resulting in much confusion for the (musician) reader. The only case where it could be tolerated is for repetitive sets of (three) beamed notes.

    Generally Encore works on Windows 11, and certainly when this was an upgrade of an earlier W10 on the same machine.

    I have read that there are limitations on loadable software on some computers equipped with Windows 11 “from the box”. That might be a smarted down version.

    Jack, this is “simply” spam. Spammers never clean themselves the garbage they put it.

    We would need an administrator to do that clean up and ban this “user”.

    The latest is still 504, but there is a subnumber for which the latest is 875. If you are far from that number (see Help/About) send me a mail, so that I could send you a link.
    (for Mac the numbers were higher, up to 507, but it doesn’t mean it is more recent, they just numbered it differently).

    Well, “Passport Music Software LLC” (if I remember the name right) has announced that they stopped business, but looking for takeover of the company and/or assets.

    These include, that I know
    – the company brand name
    – the PassportMusic.com web site
    – the Intellectual Property rights on the products
    – the customer base (the contracts with all or any of us).

    It isn’t sure if “Sonic Scores LLC” – or Don Williams individually – has purchased the “Passport Music Software LLC” company, or only some of their assets. For sure the IP rights, and apparently the web site; he used the brand name on this site, but refers to it as an “entity” which may have different meanings.

    So, we cannot say for sure that the company is “defunct”.

    @ GDelanghe
    As far as I understand, Encore 6 will (?) use something like an Overture core, keeping an Encore-like GUI. The core is something important, but is invisible to the eyes – except for the developer, and bugs.

    However, it has been said that the palettes would be replaced by a kind of dock, located at the left side of the screen. And if you look at Overture’s GUI, it resembles very much to a kind of dock, located at the left side of the screen.

    Let’s not forget that a GUI is designed at a certain moment in time, designed towards the equipment – the screen, primarily – available at that moment.
    This kind of left-side dock, if built around 1990, would either have unreadable characters, or not leave any room for the score. Today it’s quite different, the screens are so large that one needs to fill them (just kidding…)

    Send me a mail, I can give you access to the install file.

    in reply to: Where do I purchase and or download Encore #4192

    Send me a mail, I can give you access to an installer file (only the encore.exe would not be sufficient, you need libraries and fonts).

    Thanks Mike, one learns everyday and at any age.

    Strange enough, it’s about 45 years that I’m a forum participant (initially at professional level, and most often in English) and I never noticed this acronym.
    Perhaps when they were called “bulletin board”?

    in reply to: Mac OS and Encore #4171

    A library move from one system to another is probably not sufficient, a few things need to come “inside” the system. You need to reinstall.
    If you don’t have the installation file anymore, please send me a mail and you’ll get a download link for an installer.

    You’ll need the registration code, though.

    Mike, I have a single page with Windows and Mac versions, so that I don’t really need to know. Jack70N was answered end of March, I think he has everything OK.
    Actually, I have 455 only for Windows, but I hadn’t yet anybody needing it for Mac.

    What do you mean by “the OP” ?

    in reply to: Will we ever see Encore 6? #4155

    I have something in that area… please send me a mail

    in reply to: Music XML #4143

    What I understand is that a new XML version is an upgrade to the old one, so that all old tags and parameters remain valid. There would be new tags, of course, but linked to functionalities which are newly supported – which are probably not the most used ones.
    I’ll suppose that new markup tags, properly opened and closed, are due to be ignored by older levels.

    Similarly to html, where several levels peacefully coexist.

    in reply to: Desperate for a serial number – Help?? #4136

    “I just signed up to say this. I have found a working serial number
    922185-u0v827-732483-038877-000077-561479”

    I saw that one on the web. Looks like an “unofficial” distribution. Such serial numbers only work with some cracked program copies.

    in reply to: Desperate for a serial number – Help?? #4127

    AFAIK, this is not an Encore serial number
