Yes, Encore 504 runs on Windows 11. Someone else here had difficulties to start and introduce the licence code, and I gave a hint for it.
Actually my Windows 11 is an upgrade from W10, where Encore was already installed before.I didn’t locate the installation file, except that of the demo version. But I should check further on all of my backup disks (first find the inventory!)
Best preserve your installation libraries and registry settings, on your old computer. There is a method I think of which might work, but I cannot reinstall W11 from scratch to test it and loose a lot.
I could help you in trying, send me an e-mail on andre(dot)baeck(at)gmail(dot)com.I have that phenomenon only with a demo deliverable. But there have been several 504 versions at that time (Gvox, Passport, Unofficial “skunks” version…).
What you should do, is to look, on your old system, at the registry (regedit) on HK_CURRENT_USER/Software/XXX/Encore/5.0/Registration where XXX can be PASSPORT, PassPortMusic or GVOX
Export that folder and apply the result on your new system.For further questions, you can write me at andre(dot)baeck(at]gmail(dot)com, eventually in French. This forum is so strangely structured!
What I sometimes did, if my memory serves:
– arrange that the deletion start is at the beginning of a page, or perhaps a system
– similarly that the deletion end is at the end of a page (or system)
– and delete the concerned page(s)
– then rearrange…I’d guess that Encore 455 will read these files correctly. As I recently recovered a copy of it, you could send me a file for checking – andre.baeck(at)gmail.com
That I remember, E5 cannot read files that old. An intermediate save in E455 or early E5 may be needed.
Encore does not create XML before E5, and yet is is very basic – and does not include the lyrics.As an alternative, Harmony Assistant reads E455 files pretty well. And can generally create a quite good XML. I can check that too.
Geoffrey, I found a copy of Encore 455 on a backup disk.
I could open a couple a score, make some edition, both on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
However, printing works on Windows 10 but not on Windows 11!
I agree with you, Mike and Mario.
I understand that a new version needs time to upgrade or develop, and at first I was really surprized of the first annoucement with only a 6-months delay.Now, it would be nice if Don would give us a periodic (quarterly?) update, with a realistic outlook for availability (or beta-testing).
“What I need is to put an extra staff only in some systems.
Do you think it will be possible in version 6?”This has “always” been possible. Actually, the extra staff “exists” in all systems, but you can hide it where you want to (select the staves you want to hide, and press “hide staves” in the View Menu).
