As far as I know, the serial number was sent by e-mail at the time of purchase. I had printed out this e-mail at the time and archived it for such cases.
I don’t know exactly where the key is stored in the registry, but just search the registry for “Encore”, as Andre advised.
Unlocking still works in any case. I had to set up a new Windows 10 about 3 weeks ago because the hard disk on my existing one had read errors and I could no longer create an image.
The registration after reinstalling Encore 5 worked perfectly.
Good luck!The glowing Christmas tree stands for an illuminated Encore in the midst of a gloomy sheet of music software.
This is my Metaffa. The music goes with it too.Andre, I have to correct myself. You are right, .mts are MasterTracksPro files. Since I also work with Master Tracks, I must have made a “Freudian” slip.
Of course the extension for MusicTime is .mus.Over the last 3 weeks I have had a few small Christmas parties that I was allowed to accompany as a solo artist. All the parties were quite successful and there was even dancing.
In the meantime, I’ve transferred the MIDI files I created and arranged in Master Tracks Pro to an iPad and then play them back to my lyrics using the Songbook+ software.
This works great and I can leave my Win98 laptop at home. But Master Tracks Pro is indispensable for editing and creating. I just love it!Thank you Don!
Take your time and do it right.
That’s more important than a hasty Encore 6 that leaves users disillusioned rather than delighted.Encore 5 can read MT files.
The new Encore 6 should read the files of Encore 5, it should also work with MT files. Provided Don has included the .mts option as an extension.
Otherwise you would have to read and save the old MT files (mine are still from MT 2.0) in Encore 5 and then read them out again with Encore 6.
But I think that Don implies compatibility with the MT files.Thank you very much for your reply. That makes me very happy!
MTP was the first professional music software I bought, followed by MusicTime. Encore came much later after many unsuccessful attempts with other sheet music programs.
I wish you every success in completing your projects!Johannes, there is a statement from Don about Encore 6 at: https://passportmusic.com/topic/its-been-a-while/#post-3471
Being a Print Music owner, you can take advantage if the $149 crossgrade offer to Dorico.
Thanks Mike, that would be an option. But now Don has announced that Encore 6 will become a reality in winter 2024.
We can now wait a few more weeks after waiting years for an update.Mike, I have to correct myself…
I own PrintMusic and not Songwriter.
I’m still getting totally confused with all the names of the sheet music programs.
But the same applies to PrintMusic. I bought a user book but it’s frustrating to enter lyrics in PrintMusic when you’re used to the straightforward input in Encore.I no longer do anything at all in PrintMusic and have transferred all the scores to Encore.
Funny. PrintMusic uses the same extension for its files (.mus) as MusicTime. Since I still have old MusicTimes files on my computer, PrintMusik asks me every time I call up the software whether I should reserve the .mus extension just for PrintMusik.True words…
I don’t know anyone who works with Dorico and have no experience with it myself.
In my opinion, Finale was far too complicated to use right from the start. This could also be recognized by the fact that the company KLEMM,
the German distributor of Finale, published a lot of practice books without which Finale was not manageable.
As I’ve written here before, I bought Songwriter, the simplified version of Finale. Here, too, I had to buy a book where everything was described in detail.
I then spent more time leafing through this book than writing scores.Anyway, I mentioned elsewhere in this forum that now would be the ideal time to release a modern Encore 6 and offer hundreds of stranded Finale users a new sheet music program.
That would be a brilliant business move.
