Encore 4.5.

3 - January 2003 (with current update)

Yippee! At last a new version of Encore that is fully Windows9x/Me/XP compatible -

and doesn't crash when text/lyric editing under WindowsXP!

Score files produced by this version are NOT readable in earlier versions (v4.2,
4.2.1 and 4.5) of this program. However, scores produced by such older versions of
Encore ARE readable in this version.

Encore 4.5.3 serial:

Username = Enter any Username you want

Serial Number = 1-B142307328-212 (This number is only needed to unlock the

installer program.)

Note:

If you have an existing Encore 4.2.x or 4.5 installation and wish to retain the
existing setups, you can copy the following files from its Encore folder into the
new Encore 4.5.3 folder created by this installation:

"Enc_tool.ini" - this file defines where the various toolboxes are placed on the
screen
"Encore.ini" - this files defines your MIDI setup, fonts and several other
selections
"Expressi.ini" - this file defines the various expressions available in the
Expressions pallete

In the "Devices" folder, the "Devices.ini" file and any added "DevXX.ini" files can
also be transferred.

I had problems with transferring my old "Template.enc" file from version 4.5 to
version 4.53 and ended up recreating a new one for my new installation. If present
in the main program folder, the "Template.enc" file defines the default score
layout displayed as the program loads.

By default, this program installs to "C:\Program Files\Encore 4.5.3 and so will not
overwrite any older installtion you may have. It is suggested you confirm the new
installation works OK and transfer any of the *.ini files mentioned above before
uninstalling the older version.

Have fun!
