Another method, which can sometimes work, is to use Harmony Assistant to read the encore file. It either works quite well, or not at all. I can give it a try if you send me the .enc file.
I am using Encore 5.0.2.593,…
No, Encore 5 isn’t 35 years old, perhaps 17.
The oldest registration keys which are valid for E5 were issued in 2006-2007 for E4 with an “included upgrade” to E5.
But 502 had a short life, I don’t remember of any problem such as the ones you mention. You would best upgrade to 504, which is the stable Win version. Write me a note so that I can send you a download link.
“All “windows” except the score itself have a black background. This is hard to read (or needs a bigger “white font”) – and even worse to print – if that is some time done.
You’re 100% right. If there’s no way to change/adjust this white font on a black background, that would be a reason (the first reason) for me to stop using Encore…”
This dark background resembles the two possibilities ov Overture, one is black and the other “light black”. But Overture has also 4 other ones, in which the first one is a “normal” black on white, the others more colored but probably experimental.
As far as I can understand, users still with Windows 7 may need to check their system requirements. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions seem quite independent. One can migrate 32>64, but it might require a new or reformatted hard disk, and a reinstallation of “everything”. The machine itself must be 64-bit compatible.
I was thinking of that when “Smoothie” said that his/her Encore5 was installed in the C:/Program Files/ folder. On 64-bit systems, this folder is meant to contain 64-bit applications, when 32-bit applications are in C:/Program Files (x86)/.
Now, I don’t know if that’s just for convenience, or if there is a technical difference on these two folders.I have installed two 32-bit applications (among which Encore 5) in C:/Program Files/, overriding the default prompt. The installation went well, and elementary operation seems OK.
Tony, as well yesterday night when I saw your post, as just now, I didn’t experience such a phenomenon.
With other products, I have that same impression – but impression is not evidence, I should stopwatch that.
I don’t remember if E5 has a process to check (at every startup or once a day) if there is an update made available; some products do, and it reuires access to a site somewhere. That site being not active or not inaccessible is ignored. But if the site – or the network to access it – is somehow overloaded, a long delay is possible.
What I suggest you to try, is to stop your network connection while you start E5, and see if the problem persists.
Mario is right.
Often the installation folders have names containing the version numbers, but I haven’t any idea anymore on what is the default installation folder name of Encore 455.
It may be a good idea to make a backup copy of your installation folder.
Once the product is out, we may be able to give installation hints for this kind of situation, if necessary.But I would speculate on the following:
– being a 32-bit programs, Encore 455 and 5 should install within “C:/Program Files (x86)/”
– being a 64-bit program, Encore 6 should install within “C:/Program Files/”I had no problem when upgrading from W10 to W11.
According to a single report I’ve seen, there might be problems with some new systems delivered with W11 (That might be another flavour of W11).
Did you forget the password? the login panel has an option for that.
Or your userid: the “members” selection can help. Would it be TiaD ?
Would you give numbers to specify a “decent size blank score”? Decency is a quite personal feeling. Do you want to print that on on paper, or to show it on a screen?
(in Encore 5) The zoom levels (found at the right size of the enlargment glass) indicate how the “real score” would show on the screen, and has nothing to do with the printed page.
The print page sizes are set in the File Menu, option “Page Setup”. I must confess I never played with it, one may need to get accustomed to it.The staff size is set in the “/” panel, the default is 3 and the maximum is 4, which is not that big.
I agree that this is quite old design, I think still the same as mid-1990’s. Nowadays one works less with paper and privileges landscape formats.
Giovanni,
What is unbelievable, is that Apple has stopped supporting 32bit applications – about 8 years ago, I think.Now, this forum is essentially a dialog between users, with very seldom addition of the product’s author. None of us know when Encore 6 will actually come out.
Claude,
Select the contents of one or several bars. Issue Ctrl-Shift-J – or the last line “Align spacing” on the “Measures” menu.To have it automatically done at note entry, you have the option “Auto Space” in the “Setup” menu.
Did you find a place to buy Encore 504 (recently)?
Tony,
I answered some of your other posts on this matter, asking for the encore file (or one of them) and a screen shot.
When I have your userid, I can send you a link, but there is no other good downloadable level than 504-875. I don’t think anybody else has this problem.Furthermore, the risk that the same problem shows up again with E6, when avalable, is extremely low, since the E6 is expected to have essentially new code.
