Changed since 2022, of course.
I think that “this summer” was set in spring 2025. Before that, references were to Fall (or Thanksgiving).“This summer” is a “due date” which does not need updates… (sad)
Roger, importing a score into Overture 5 can only be done via XML or MIDI. It has been said here that Overture 6 would directly import Encore files. But the availability of Overture 6 is at leas as uncertain as the one of encore 6.
Encore and Overture have many similarities, but that is for the appearance, ergonomy, look and feel etc.
It does not imply at all that their file structure would be close or similar.I would guess that, when Don started with Overture, he started with a file structure which was quite similar to what he made in the eariest Encore (rather than inventing a totally new one), but both products saw their file structure evolving separately and incompatibly.
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.
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”.
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.
