- Readme file for QuickScore Elite 5.1 demo
-
- The demo version of QuickScore Elite will do everything the
- production version does with the following exceptions:
-
- You can print one time per session using the Print Line
- option under the File menu.
-
- You can only export a TIFF or BMP file one time per
- session.
-
- You cannot save files with the demo version.
-
- For detailed instructions on using QuickScore Elite, see
- the QuickScore Elite Online Help.
-
- QuickScore Elite 5.1 has several enhancements over
- QuickScore Elite 5.0. These are described below.
-
- Improved appearance of your music
-
- Stems and beams for notes above or below the staff are
- automatically set to the center of the staff.
-
- Beams are now always set on top of staff lines, never
- between the staff lines.
-
- More Help
-
- Context-sensitive help is now available from all dialogs
- by pressing the F1 key.
-
- When entering or editing adjustable symbols (slurs,
- crescendi, endings, etc.), you are prompted from the status
- line on how to proceed.
-
- Import your QuickScore Elite scores into graphics and word
- processing programs
-
- You can now save your scores as TIFF and BMP files. These
- files can be imported into popular graphics and word
- processing programs like Microsoft Word and Corel Draw and
- any of the hundreds of other programs that support these
- formats.
-
- You can export either a line of music or a page of music. To
- export a line, make sure you are not in Print Preview mode.
- In this mode, only the system of music that you see in the
- Score Editor window will be exported. Titles and page
- numbers will not appear. To export a page, make sure you are
- in Print Preview mode. In this mode, the full page of music
- appearing in the Score Editor, including page numbering and
- titles, will be exported.
-
- Select Export Picture... from the File menu and select the
- resolution you want from the submenu that appears. Bear in
- mind that the quality of the image and the size of the file
- generated increase with the resolution.
-
- A file selection dialog box appears. In the Save File as
- Type list box select either BMP or TIFF. Now enter the name
- of the file to which you wish to save your line or page and
- click on OK or press Enter.
-
- You can now import your saved score into another
- application. To do this, follow the directions specified in
- the documentation for this application.
-
- Printing recommendations:
-
- When using HP Laserjet or Deskjet Windows printer drivers,
- select "Print TrueType as Graphics" if it is available in
- the Print Setup dialog. This will ensure that musical
- symbols at the far right of the page print properly.
-
- If you are using a Deskjet 500 or 540 printer and you are
- having problems with your regular printer driver, use the
- generic Deskjet Windows printer driver.
-
- Importing EPS files from QuickScore Elite into other Windows
- programs:
-
- It is possible to import from QuickScore Elite into other
- Windows programs using Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files.
- To create an EPS file using QuickScore Elite, you must use
- the Windows PostScript printer driver. When you print,
- select Printer, then Options and select Encapsulated
- Postscript File. Write the name of the EPS file you will
- create.
-
- The EPS file you create can be imported into any program
- that imports EPS files. Microsoft Word for Windows is an
- example of such a program. To print these files you need a
- PostScript printer and the Mozart TrueType font installed in
- Windows. (If you have installed QuickScore Elite on your
- system, this will be the case.)
