Of course, since Encore's MusicXML implementation cannot handle Lyrics or Expressions, MusicXML is of limited use - still better than MIDI which cannot handle Text.įor now, I still have licenses to upgrade and use a Mojave external SSD for running this one app. Overture is the most ‘Encore like’ of any current app but it has issues-layout can be quite frustrating but it’s getting better. Dorico is the worst but it’s pretty bad at opening. MuseScore and Finale and are equally bad. I have found that Notion 6 and Overture open MusicXML generated by Encore better than other apps. It’s no good for engraving and never has been-one look at Encore’s amateurish slurs and phrase markings tells you that. There has to be a reasonable expectation of profit upon release-if not, Encore is dead, dead, dead and nothing will save it.Įncore excels at generating charts for my ensembles quickly and that’s why I still use it. It’s a marketing decision as to whether a new Encore can exist or not. I’m not interested because it can't do any good. I invite you to sign this online petition mentioning your seniority of use of Encore. I am therefore launching a petition on the forum to question Richard Hotchkiss and his associates in order to obtain an answer: should we abandon Encore and try to adapt to other applications or is there assurance that a 64-bit update is really in the works? However, as long-time loyal users, we feel we have the right to be informed about the future of Encore. The silence of the developers suggests an impossibility of this update. We are therefore deprived in a very short term of our working application. Moreover, the advent of Macs with M1 chips makes it impossible to downgrade to MacOs Mojave. Since this day no information is given to us concerning this update. Since the release of MacOS 10.15 Catalina on October 9, 2019, which endorsed the permanent abandonment of 32-bit, a message has been sent warning us not to upgrade to Catalina, adding: "We are continuing to develop our products to meet Apple's new operating system.
