Today there are 3 days left
You’re right, but here in Germany there are still 23 days until the beginning of fall. 😉

You can see screenshots of Encore 6 under the “Development” tab. At least the Encore logo can be seen in the top left corner. Apparently the first results of the new software are already available. A lot has changed.
I can understand your frustration very well, but I can’t do anything about the current situation. Don’s communication leaves a lot to be desired, I agree, but that’s no reason to discredit Don.
I for one am used to waiting and stalling during the GVOX phase. An update was also promised here, but I don’t think that was ever planned.
Under GVOX, however, Encore was available to buy at a crossgrade price, which I did in 2014.I’ve been using MusicTime and Master Tracks Pro since 1995. I’m still using Master Tracks Pro and Don promised to update MTP too.
MusicTime was replaced by Encore and I can currently work properly with it under Win10
As you can see, I have remained loyal to Passport for 30 years.The only thing that could happen if Encore 6 is released is that we will all be disappointed by the new Encore because it is no longer the “old” one…
I am not familiar with version 5.0.2.593. Perhaps Andre knows what to do in this case.
You can write to him. His e-mail address is in his avatar.
I can only report on version 5.0.4.875. This version could be installed on Win10 without any problems. I am also not aware of any black backgrounds in the score view or in the toolboxes.-

Mario2. Reason: Wrong Revision
Mike, thanks for the post!
I also think it’s unnecessary and inappropriate to judge Don and his work. After Gvox, he offered to continue the work with Encore and Master Tracks Pro, especially since they were his babies with which he celebrated great success in the early 1990s. I remember being 30 years old and watching the launch of Encore with wide eyes at a music fair.And let’s be honest – for most of us, Encore is much more than just a piece of software. It is a way of life and a beloved companion that has accompanied us through the decades of our lives.
In the meantime, I have switched to Win10 64bit after my Win7 crashed last November.
Encore 5 was installed under C:/Program Files (x86)/.
I currently have no other versions installed in parallel. This was only the case with Win7.The question is not so stupid. Who knows what happens when you install new software?
But I assume that Encore 6, when it comes out, will not change anything in “old” installations because it will not be an update of the old Encore but a completely new program. Always assuming we are talking about the Windows platform here.
I used to have several versions of Encore 5 running side by side on my Win7 computer without them affecting each other.
The more important question would be whether the old Encore files can be opened with Encore 6 and how far back this compatibility is guaranteed.-

Andre was quicker. 🙂
The horizontal scroll bar is only available in the Mac version. On Windows, the zoom works as follows:
Click on the small triangular arrow next to the magnifying glass.
In the menu that now opens, you can choose between ‘Fit Page’, ‘Fit Width’, ‘Actual Scale’, ‘Constant Scale’, as well as zoom level ‘x2’, ‘x3’, “x4” or ‘Custom’.
With the zoom levels, a mouse pointer in the form of a hand is displayed after the respective setting. If you click on this in the score, the desired setting is applied. With Custom, you can enter the percentage of magnification directly, click on OK and then click on the hand symbol directly in the score. This is actually quite simple.
You can also set the size of the staves in the Staff-Sheet menu. Select the size 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the ‘Size’ column. The default setting is 3.Quale sistema operativo? Windows o Mac OS?
Encore 5 per Windows funziona anche su Win10/11.July 17, 2025 at 3:50 pm in reply to: Midi Device/Instrument Settings is not showing the name of the Instruments. #4605Thanks Andre. My mistake…
Yes Toni, the folder must be called “Devices”.
In my excitement, I hadn’t looked closely.July 17, 2025 at 1:53 am in reply to: Midi Device/Instrument Settings is not showing the name of the Instruments. #4602Under “Programs (x86)” you will find the program folder “Encore-5.0.4”. If you open this folder, you will see various subfolders. Among them there must also be a folder called “Device”. All MIDI instruments should be stored here.
If this is not the case, I can send you a link where you can find all the instruments. Simply open the downloaded ZIP file and copy the contents into the “Device” folder under Encore-xxx. If there is no device folder, please create one first. The instruments should now appear.Hi,
I have a solution to make the 16-bit program MTPRO6 run under Windows 10. I have tried it and it works including saving.July 16, 2025 at 7:36 am in reply to: Midi Device/Instrument Settings is not showing the name of the Instruments. #4599Under “Programs (x86)” you will find the program folder “Encore-5.0.4”.
