Hi friends,
I was reminded by a user query that I should update this thread for the later versions of our software
Here is the full listing of where to unzip the .not Template files, depending on what version of Musician or Composer you have.
v 2.6.3 (which is now considered obsolete and no longer supported)
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Notation\Templates\
v 3 (latest release is 3.1.4)
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Notation_3\Templates
v 4 (latest release as of this date 4.0.2)
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Notation_4\Templates
After unzipping the files and putting them in the above folder(s), you should see them show up when you use "Create new" in Notation Composer.
If you are unable for any reason to copy these template files into the above folders or they don't show up properly in Create New, you can always simply unzip them into any folder, use File/Open in Composer to open them, and then immediately use File/Save as Template to save it to the Template folder for future use. You can then continue to work with the open file, changing the key signature, etc, just as you normally would any .not file (which is really all it is). You'll have already saved a "template" copy for using again later.
Enjoy!
