    Nobody knows.
    Hope is fading.

    I don’t know in anybody can remove this scam.
    Please stay far away!

    Ciao Stefano,
    I’m not really a user of MTS…
    Would you send me such a file?

    What exactly do you call TRAX? I have seen that word used as a shorthand for MasterTracks, but also for another piece of software, perhaps something that was running on pre-PC computers.

    Dan, send me a mail so that I have your address.

    Select the quarter’s icon and the triplet ican, in the Notes palette and place the note on the score.
    Then the same with an 8th + triplet.

    In “arrow mode” draw a rectangle around these two notes, open the Notes menu and click on “group” or “beam”, in the pull-down select “beam on group”.

    Did you complain to Apple?

    Some kind of crowdfunding should be possible, indeed
    Or something like an pre=delivery purchase.

    But I don’t think anything like that is worth considering, unless we get some news on the progress, or the lack of it.

    We have no idea if the stand-still is due to financial reasons, or to really personal ones.

    Overture 6 is also blocked, by the way.

    Well, if it does not show up in this google search (or other formulations of the question), it means it does not exist…

    Make a Google Search with “Lyrics Translator”, there are several proposals, many AI-based.
    No idea of actual quality or value, however.

    Is it a joke?
    Automatic translation has very much improved these last years, but doing it while respecting the words and syllables, rhythm and rimes…
    is yet another challenge.
    I’m afraid AI will soon or later try to do that…

    Furthermore, the 19th century habit to translate lyric works, has been abandoned since a long time now.

    Hello Encore45

    Sadly, I think it’s over. No Encore 6.
    Perhaps there are too many problems after all.

    Of course, we don’t know if Don’s health is good. If not, please let us know so we can understand why Encore 6 isn’t happening.

    I’m afraid that you are not far from the reality. At end of fall 2024, the availability was said to be very soon (“if not by Thanksgiving, it would be by CyberMonday”…)
    Sure, there are unexpected problems raising up during a development, but it wouln’t be a very big deal if certain functions, originally planned, were delay for a second release.
    In the previous years, there has been a long period where Don had to prioritize other tasks, and this is something that can show up again. If not again and again.

    Now, would a first version of Encore 6 be made available in the coming weeks, I would not think that Don would have, all of a sudden, enough time to handle problem reports and to issue the needed corrections. Let us not forget that Overture 6 is also many years overdue.

    I think it is too risky to embark as a single developper on such a project. Not that only big engines with tens of people would be necessary (that would only be more expensive (unless subsidized), but a small team of two or three people should be the vital minimum.

    in reply to: Swing Playback #4932

    I wouldn’t contradict your sentence saying “It may be more practical…”
    However, the implementation of swing in Encore (4 or 5) is quite elementary – and even presents an incoherence between the Win and Mac implementation (or perhaps just the documentation).
    Normally, the swing ratio should be preserved for a while, though mine seems blocked on 75% – which is not the default.
    A swing ration of 66% is most common – for swing notation. Many pieces who are actually swinging at 75% have it explicitly notated with dotted eights- sixteenths pairs (or multiple).

    Now, if Encore 6 comes some day to light, we should not expect that it resembles Encore 5 up to that level of detail. And before that hypothetical moment, it does not help to speculate.

    There is a risk to see a swing implementation as basic as in Overture (eights at 62.5%!)

    I would imagine that your problem may be similar to the one described in

    License code needs to be entered every start up Windows 10 Extended

    It might also be due to a registry cleaner, such as “CCleaner” or “PC Cleaner” which is doing its work a bit too deeply.

    in reply to: Mikorra várható az Encore 6.0.0? #4924

    Encore 6 isn’t available yet. I have sent you the links to Encore 5 (as per your other post), assuming you have a registration key.

    Happy summer, down under!!!

    By the way, while the <english word> “Encore” has the same use (in concerts) as “Bis” in Europe, the French “Encore” means “again, still”.
    And “still” also means “still”…

    A “Stille Nacht” for everybody…
