Encore Upgrade from GVOX - Version: 5.0.3, 7/25/2008 09:22AM PST

Buck2222

The newest upgrade for Encore 5.03 is a disaster. I have had to go back to 4.x.x There are serious alignment problems, there are serious tie and slur problems. It is simply a face lift from 4 but now there are more bugs than before. Buyer beware
