We all have problems. But Don should explain himself to his customers. I think that when he does (if he does), he will no longer have customers. They will all have migrated. I am very disappointed with him. Overture 5 is a true work of art. But it lacks functional refinement. It fails more than a shotgun with continuous crashes. Absurd collisions. It doesn’t work well in XML imports and exports… and more. The list of bugs and improvements to be made, no need for me to say it. Don himself has them listed in the improvements and adjustments he has to make for the “next” (if there is one) version of Overture. I’ll help myself for now, but the improvements are much needed. Don’s silence seems disrespectful to me.
I hope you are not amused by what I am telling you about Encore, because it is very true. I am a choir conductor and I started digitizing scores in 2003 with Encore. I immediately realized that with this software I could not write the scores as I wanted, because it had and has many shortcomings (graphical and sound). Well then: At the end of 2004 I discovered an (apparently) amateur program (Harmony Assistant). It is a program with a very affordable license and lifetime. To this day I am fully satisfied. It is an incredible tool for choirs. Tremendously intuitive and very complete in all its sections. It imports and exports in more than 25 different extensions (including all Encore files).
I also have a license for Overture 5, for other works, but Don has abandoned us.Translated with DeepL.com
