I have never installed MasterTracks. If somebody would send me an installation file of 6.8.4 (assuming that is tha latest), I would add it on my download page, which I send to those asking for a refresh.
Eventually, with a 6.8.3 version (for Win) giving a problem with “devices”, I could see if something could be solved by importing an Encore version of this folder.
Yes, I know, as do 1% of the Europeans (perhaps Australians too) and 1°/oo in Asia, Africa, Latin America, etc.
And till last year, when it was given as a “probable target”, I would have thought of “last Thursday”…
Hello Mr. Rescu
I wouldn’t stop on the look of this site, as a joke I would not qualify it as “sinister” but simply as “Austrian”.
It seems quite recently updated, so there is a fair chance that they would be honest with their customers.However, they were probably authorized resellers at the time of the GVOX and PASSPORTMUSIC companies, but this authorization has probably dropped when the latter company stopped business in 2021 or so. They might have some unsold licences that they want to make money of at a 75% discount price, and this might not be that legal or contractual…
But there is another warning: this is Encore 5, and I’m not sure at all that files created in the late 90ies could be read vy Encore 5, even perhaps not by Encore 455 that some of us still have available: the upward compatibility was broken during the Encore 4 lifespan.
You could have a chance with Harmony Assistant: this Myriad product has a function to import Encore files, with a variable quality, and better with older files. If importing is successful, a score can be exported with MusicXML.
You might want to send me some of your files (say two: a rather small one and a rather large one), I could see if there is any way to recover their contents. My mai id can be guessed from my identification here.Antonio, you are entitled to have this opinion, of course.
What you consider a waste of time, is it the development effort, or the talk on this forum?You can also stop wasting your time, by not reading this forum anymore.
I have looked at this PDF with a text editor – and useful information is near the end.
The PDF wasn’t created directly using Encore 4.1, but by Steven Sherrill using probably “Acrobat Distiller 5.0 for Macintosh”. It looks like an aggregator of postscript output.The file itself is in a folder called “Acrobat” on the “Symphony Orchestra Library Center”, which is still managed by Steven Sherrill. If you want to know how this process works, you may want to contact this organization, their site offers an e-mail address for inquiries: noten@orchestralibrary.com
I wonder if this pdf was not created, taking as a source a set of pdfs (one per “piece”), using a PDF editor. I think that PDFmerge does that only for whole pages, but perhaps more sophisticated applications such as Adobe Acrobat.
Hello Noel, send me a mail so that I could send you a link to the latest download versions of Encore.
Apparently the recommended OS version is Mojave, and that I can see High Sierra is older. I know nothing detailed of Mac systems.
I’m not sure that scores created in Encore 4.1 will be read by Encore 5. Those created in Encore 4.5.5 will, for sure. At some time there has been a disruption.
You may want to send me a sample .enc file from that level, I’d try to sort out.
