Notation Composer shuts down when using Format/Setup
 

Hi,

I'm using Notation Composer 2.6.3

I haven't had the need to use the Format/Setup command (qpgs) for a while.
However, now, whenever I do, Composer simply closes down.
This happens with any .not and .mid file that I open.

It happens every time, even after a complete PC reboot.

I run Composer, open any file, choose "Format" "Setup" and the setup window appears.
Whatever I do, even simply pressing "Cancel" causes Composer to close down with no error message.

Any thoughts what this could be?

Kind Regards, Richard

Hi Richard,

That is odd - haven't heard of anyone else with this problem. I do have a couple of suggestions, though.

1. If something in the Notation Composer installation has been corrupted, then re-installing the software should fix it. If you need the installation file, you can visit the Redownload page to have your link emailed to you.

2. You may need to update or change your printer driver. Why the printer driver? Because Notation products use the actual driver for the printer you have designated in File/Print Setup to get formatting parameters and show you the Page layout.

Hopefully one of the two above suggestions will get you going. If not, please let me know.

ttfn,
Sherry

Hi Sherry,
Thanks very much for the prompt reply.
I tried reinstalling Composer and I tried both upgrading and then reinstalling my printer, but no difference.

Not really sure what to do now but I guess I'll just have to make do with the default page layout :(
I really love Composer and use it a lot for entering scores and printing them out to play :D
