Anyone want new tutorials?
I’d love new tutorials, Bryce!
FYI, here is my much less impressive shortcut list/visual aid for Mac users:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TaAlD2yviSRF-pBwHvVcI8jnZ2ipg1-Y/view?usp=sharingit’s fashionable to say that something is obsolete
Obsolete is definitely the right word for a computer that is swelling (battery?) over the years & stopped doing any kind of Time Machine or other backups but is on duct-taped life support with unsupported system software JUST so I can run an old music notation software that is taking forever to be updated. The implication that it’s whiny in any way after being abandoned for 10 years & just HAPPENING upon this forum where promises are being made but not panning out (understandable to a degree, but frustrating) is rude.
Yes. Encore is obsolete & so is my computer.
Back to topic, I had tried Finale & had a friend spend a day training me on it many years ago, but it was too expensive & frustrating at the time to stick with it. Thus stuck with OBSOLETE software & hardware.

I just want a 64-bit Mac update. I don’t care if it’s exactly like 2014’s 5.0.7 – I just need it to work on my new Mac so I can update old .enc files & maybe get back into arranging after 10 years’ hiatus.
Others who might be willing include some already in the forums who were Matt Ingalls’ beta testers during the difficult gvox years as listed in the 2014 Encore 5 manual:

Steve TyeI am happy to be a beta tester too.
I was just about to buy a new old 2015 MacBook Pro since mine is faltering & I only use it for Encore 32-bit on Mojave. THANK GOD I found this! I will happily pay to use & beta test any new version you have as I have thousands of files to update.
Long story short, my studio was robbed in 2016 & I lost everything, including the old 12″ Mac with Encore & my midi setup. On my newer Mac, I still have my old files, but losing my keyboard & other equipment shut me down from doing new arrangements. If you are…er…giving us an encore with a 64-bit update of Encore, I am ALL FOR IT! Add me to the Christmas list & tell me where to send how much money!
Tried others. Encore was the only thing for me. Still have it on an old, dying Mac, but all is obsolete.
