This date/time problem seems general with WordPress forums, and is reported since 10 years!
A “refresh” sometimes helps.
Send me a mail (address a bit higher) and I can send you a link to the installation file.
You need to have a valid registration code, though.I hope that the palettes/docks, shown here as white on black, can also be turned to the classic black on white? White on black is tendy, but hard to read. It reminds me the screens of the 1970’s with a green background.
Running the installation file of a product will create and fill the program directories, but also generate a few system files – what a simple copy of the program directory will not do.
Now, these system files in Encore and MusicTime are, that I know, only some musical fonts such as Stoccata.
If the program works (including displaying scores, of course) on a new computer, that means that these files were installed by another program: that can be a demo version of either program, or some other music editors which also use the same fonts.
A good system specialist might also recover the font files from the hard disk of a dead system, or from a backup files of it, and reinject them in a new computer.
I think that “Fall 2022” was a typo at the first place. When I saw that date last year I found it unbelievable.
I have copies of the installation files for Mac (as well as for Windows) – send me a mail at andre(dot)baeck(at)gmail(dot)com – but the Terms and Conditions do not allow us to share the license keys.
Please send me an e-mail at andre(dot)baeck(at]gmail(dot)com — I’ll send you some download links
Hello Jim,
If a file does not open well with the demo version, I’d be surprized if the full/registered version would do it any better. But an earlier version might.
Would you send me such a .mus file – to andre(dot)baeck(at)gmail(dot)com ? I would see what to advise.
Hello,
Indeed, Encore will read and handle MusicTime files. However, the owning company PassportMusic has stopped business, then be reacquired, but the owner is working on a new Encore 5 and does not market the former versions. Perhaps a local dealer would still sell it, but this might not be too legal.Here in the forum, participants can help each other with copies of the installation files for those who have lost them. But we would infringe the T&C’s by sharing the registration key.
There is another piece of software which can read MusicTime/Encore files, particularly the old ones (MTD3,EncoreV4), it is Harmony Assistant, which can be found on myriad-online.com .
Extract quality is very variable, and depends on the style and complexity introduced by the score’s author. You could download it from the site, and use it freely in demo mode – again without the ability to save/print, but one can see if the results are satisfactory.
