FAQ
Printing
Question : Note stems and staff lines are  printed properly but note heads are printed as big squares. What is happening?
 
Several solutions :

1- You are using Windows, and the Wacam.ini file has been deleted or corrupted in your system directory (C:\Windows).
Delete this file if already existing, then reinstall the application.

2- Your printer driver is not up to date. Ensure you own the latest printer driver by visiting the manufacturer's site..

3- Printer setup is not correct. It must be configured to use TrueType fonts in priority.
Select "File>Page setup" and check all the printer setup values.

On Windows, open the "Start" menu, then  Settings>Printers.
Right-click your printer and select "Properties". Click the "Fonts" tab index and select "Always use TrueType fonts" or "Print TrueType as graphics". Click OK, then perform a new page setup from the software before trying to print again.
 
 
 
Question : While printing, an alert is shown, saying that the Myriad Music Font is not present, and notes are replaced on paper by strange signs. What is happening?
 
The Myriad Music Font (Mac) or SToccata (PC) font is not installed in your system. Check it.

If it is not present, you must install this font manually..
- On the Macintosh :

Open the folder you installed the application into.
Open the "System" subfolder
Drag the file "SToccata.ttf" from this folder to the "Fonts" subfolder of your system folder.
You can also download it from the internet at:
http://www.myriad-online.com/fonts/Myriad%20Music%20%Fonts.hqx - Under Windows If you own the Myriad CD-ROM, open the "Font" folder
Otherwise, download the "SToccata.ttf" file on the Internet at:
http://www.myriad-online.com/fonts/stoccata.ttf

If you are running Windows 95, 98 or NT, drag this file into the "Windows\Fonts" folder.
Under Windows 3.1x, use the control panel to install this font.

Then, open the file "wacam.ini" located in the "Windows" directory with a text editor (Notepad for example) and add the following line in the [Fontes] section :

          Stoccata=F5FE
Question : On the printed page, I get only 3 bars per stave and 4 staves per page. How can I increase this?
 
Reduce the overall bar width with the corresponding tool in the Edit floating palette, and decrease the height of the staves by dragging the horizontal red line which delimits the bottom of each staff area.
 
Question : When printing, brackets and braces used to join staves together are present in the preview, but not printed on paper. What can I do ?
 
Brackets and braces are printed outside the paper area. On the preview, shift the left margin a few centimeters to the right.
 
Question : I own a street organ, and I want to make punched cards. Can I do this?
 
Several tools are available for street organ players in Harmony (not available with Melody Assistant) :

1) You can use one of the print options to print punched cards or rolls (entirely user-definable).
2) In the staff menu (black triangle in the margin  ) options you can apply a street organ filter that suppresses all notes that are not playable on your organ. You can then hear and view how a tune will play on your organ.
 
Question : I use a Macintosh under MacOS 8 or 9. Printer works fine with other applications, but does not work with Melody/Harmony. What can I do ?
Proably OMS is installed but its setup is wrong. You probably defined that the OMS could use the printer port. When Melody/Harmony is launched, it activates OMS, which blocks then the printer port. To fix this, desactivate the printer port in OMS setup (see OMS manual for further details)
 
Question : I use Windows. When launching Melody/Harmony, a window tells me there has been a "crash" in a module whose name ends with .DLL or .DRV (typically : EPSxxx.DRV)
Your printer driver is probably in cause. Got to the manufacturer's site, and download and install the latest printer driver.
