To Mike Halloran –
This is my feature request to the developer which you, as a matter of your modus operandi, the self-designated forum proctologist, to add your out-of-context additions. No thanks.
Addendum to the topic of playback swing – and having no idea how it works in Overture, assuming that will be the basis for this tool, but there is no capacity it seems to be able to add swing to dotted notes, in particular dotted 8th notes. The obvious workaround for audio purposes is spelling a group out in all 16th notes and rests however for print purposes would not always be preferable.
If you are needing something now – at this juncture is 2+ years delayed from “declaration”, the very best advice is to move on. Keep in mind the fuel of interest here is based on a gross assumption that if/when it is released it will be hitting the ground running. It will not. There will be any number of issues with function/GUI/interface/OS compatibility to be worked out – so you’re most likely still going to have a wait.
@synthzizer (#1635)
Yep.The gatekeeper said: “Then change it”.
Incidentally, the forum heading is ‘Feature Request’.
If you read the this post which you also commented on along the way you will see the very context.
You may not believe this…but not everybody uses your particular set up.
If they are taking on beta testers – a euphemism for free labor, I wouldn’t count on a product worth investing. Case and point: GVOX.
Times New Roman is typically a default font for many Windows programs. It was exciting in 1995… 😛
It sets defaults for templates just fine for headers & footers (Score / Text Elements pop-up) but just not for using the Text tool which as where it always reverts to Times New Roman.
I believe saxandkeys is referring to Encore crashing if you hold down a mouse button down too long; which is tricky when you are also doing keyboard shortcuts wth the other hand. I am not sure if this occurs on Mac but it has been an issue on PC and with every version I’ve had of Encore (not sure the exact version I had when starting but it was early 2011). So the workaround is never hold the mouse buttons down longer than 3 seconds!! It behooves a quirky but practical habit of saving as soon as your create a new file and save (ctrl + s) very frequently just in case one forgets (and it does happen).
It’s just a horrible, horrible bug (it had been brought up on the GVOX beta testing forums, but…) but knowing the cause (not randon) and having an easy workaround helps tremendously.
I would be very surprised if this wasn’t fixed in v6.
** Addendum: Holding down keyboard keys does not seem to cause a crash but of course when doing things that involved keys simultaneous with the mouse is where I get tripped up not holding the mouse key too long. Talk about coordination…!
