Don’s plan is MusicXML 3.0 which is still a standard. Many apps never updated to 3.1 or 4.0.

In the meantime, I’m using PDFtoMusic Pro to convert my Encore files as needed—appears to be xml 3.0. Is it great? Not at all but it’s a lot more accurate than SmartScorePro for Encore files.

I lost one of my 2012 MacBook Pros last week when I stumbled in my office and dumped some coffee into it. Turns out that an inexpensive insurance policy I bought from AT&T covers this with a $99 deductible. If they can’t repair it, I’ll be offered a later refurb. I’m hoping it can be repaired, however. Fortunately, I have another juuuuust in case.
