Problems with Sibelius Scorch
Posted: 30 Dec 2007 16:38
It seems that just about every time I try to view a score on SibeliusMusic (where many of the CPDL Sibelius scores are hosted), I'm told I have to install Scorch - even when Scorch is already installed! The installation process is time consuming, because, after receiving an error message, I first have to remove the already installed copy of Scorch, go through the installation process, agreeing to Sibelius's terms (whatever they are), and then hope to heaven that the installation proceeds normally. And then, at SibeliusMusic, for about 15-20 seconds I get a browser message (not responding) before, at long last, Scorch opens.
This is a ridiculous burden for SibeliusMusic to put upon users who would like to view or download scores from their site.
I'm of the opinion that CPDL should strongly urge (or perhaps demand) that scores in Sibelius format submitted to CPDL should be submitted in PDF form, to save users like me 10-15 minutes time in jumping through flaming hoops just to get to view and download a score.
