No Mike, I have not considered Writer. I had only referred to gdelanghe’s opening thread.
I have become too accustomed to the layout of Encore to accept any other score program 😉
I hope that Encore 6 will not deviate too far from it.That’s interesting Mike. If Overture 6 is planned, then it will probably be released along with Encore 6.
I’m going to wait for Encore 6 and not buy Score Writer, especially since my Encore 5.0.4.875 still worksThat is the realistic view of things. I can only agree with Mike.
I think it’s a good offer that Don is making us by holding out the prospect of a new Encore version. He and his company are under no obligation to us.
So we have no other choice but to wait for a new version of Encore and MasterTracks.
I also see insults out of annoyance because of the not kept release as out of place hereI’m lucky to have Encore for Windows. At least it works under Windows7 to some extent. In the meantime I already have a whole computer park with the most different operating systems to be able to use my “old” music software further. 🙂
As a guitar player, I support Milan’s suggestion. It would also be a great feature if the best positioning on the fretboard was suggested as it was with the “OptiFingering” add-on in Encore 5.
Alternatively, there should be the possibility to choose the best position from several suggestions.I create medleys with data from Encore via MasterTracksPro by saving the scores from Encore as MasterTracksPro data using the export function.
In Master TracksPro you can then compile the data as you want.I had also tried MuseScore up to version 2.0 in the past. At first glance, it seemed very clear and easy to use. However, when I started to use MuseScore more intensively, I found it more difficult and complicated to achieve reasonable results in a reasonable amount of time. The lyrics input was complicated and a reasonable tab display was impossible.
How MuseScore behaves in version 4 I can not judge, because I deleted MuseScore from my computer.I think that due to the holidays, not much work was done from December 21, so the release of Encore will most likely be delayed until January 2023.
Besides, Encore users are a very long-suffering people as far as waiting times are concerned 😉I could open my files created with MTP 6.0.1 without problems with the last version 6.8.4.
Let’s be surprised. But I think this will work the same with the new version of MTP.I think Encore 6 will be available in January.
For now, it’s Christmas and then it’s also New Year. The release will be delayed a bit.
I hope it won’t be delayed for years…Merry Christmas everyone!
For now, it’s Christmas. In my opinion, not much will happen there.
I think Encore 6 will be released in January 2023.
Merry Christmas to all Encore users and of course to the Passport team!
snball60,
As Mike has already explained, this depends on the operating system.
With Windows you have to use third party providers. A printer driver is then installed for PDF printing.
I had also tried several PDF printer drivers until the results were ok.For now it’s Christmas.
I think Encore will be released early next year.By the way, I just finished a new score with Encore 5.0.4.875. 😉 
I love this fast and uncomplicated input of lyrics in Encore and hope that it will be as easy with Encore 6.Good music scanning programs are not cheap but a good thing if you have printed sheet music only.
This is also the reason why I keep an old 486 computer with Windows 3.11 alive. It still runs the old Musitek music recognition software Midiscan V 2.5.1 to my satisfaction. An old flatbed scanner with interface card completes the setup.
Nevertheless, an up-to-date music XML protocol is a very good idea.
