A couple of questions about Encore...
1. Any news about the possible update?
2. Can old Encore files be easily imported into Overture complete with text and lyrics?

Hi, Ray,
Welcome aboard.
One can have a "recent" Encore export a MusicXML file for an Encore score, which Overture 5 can import, with various limitations.
The Encore-generated MusicXML file does not include the lyrics. (It has a "comment" placeholder where each lyricule should go!)
The handling of Encore text elements in this process is "complicated". They are encoded in a very irregular (and not at all legitimate) way into MusicXML by Encore. Overture has a number of special provisions to try and deal with this, with "some" success.
Best regards,
Alan
