I did download this file and it played on a generic midi player. I also
imported it into Music Time which I believe is from the same company
as encore. The score looks fine although there aresome note values
to be edited which is typical. I have seen just the note heads on
other files and it was caused by not having Auto Beaming turned on
in the settings menu. Perhaps Encore has the same setting. I have a problem
though that only one measure will play from Music Time. I can start
anywhere in the piece and only that measure will play. I will work
some more with this and let you know. You can contact me direct at the address
below although some of our trials may be of interest to the group. I do
download midi files frequently from BBS's and the internet and have
found some interesting music.
