Dear Composers and Musicians,

Following the enjoyable meeting this Wednesday, September 18th at 11:00 AM with Michel Defourny, André Klenes, and Danielle Baas, you will find attached Michel Defourny’s excellent presentation, available for download on MUSESCORE version 3.

Version 4.2 improves microtonal audio playback on click, but not when reading sheet music.

ENCORE no longer meets several criteria, particularly regarding the export of MP3s with transposing instruments. We have an older version (5.0 and 5.02); the new one has not yet been released.

Thank you to Michel Béro for providing the following conversion links for composers who were using FINALE:

PlayScore 2 Sheet Music Scanner

Warm thanks to Michel Defourny and André Klenes, a new member, and to SABAM for providing the premises.
