Harmony Assistant: full of bugs

BEWARE: Harmony assistant is NOT a professional tool, it's full of bugs and the support is practically non-existent. I've plenty of documentation to prove it.

Re: Harmony Assistant: full of bugs

I guess a comment like this one demonstrates how too much drugs, alcohol damage the brain. This comment is insane. Harmony is a real good software, extremely cheap for what it does, with a great community of users (forum) and developers. The Guillon Brothers are paying a lot of attention to feedback and suggestion. Just go to the forum or the democratic workshop and you'll see plenty of documentation to prove it . Not like yours I guess.

Se scrivi questo,é chiaro

Se scrivi questo,é chiaro che non hai studiato in modo sufficente il "Software"! Se lo avessi fatto ti saresti accorto,dopo un pó di tempo,che H.A.é un programma che dá la possibilitá a qualsiasi musicista di intervenire su ogni particolare della notazione musicale,in maniera precisa,e anche personale,considerandone la flessibilitá.Certo,é un programma complesso,ma deve esserlo,per poter scrivere musica "complessa".Come puoi dire che il supporto é inesistente....? Myriad offre un supporto eccellente!!! Il "Forum" poi é uno dei migliori (se non il migliore) per il tipo di argomenti trattati.Full of bugs??..Quali? Ma dai...gli aggiornamenti sono cosi frequenti,che anche si verificasse un "Bug",viene subito corretto.
Pace e bene.

Re: Harmony Assistant: full of bugs

You MUST be joking !
I will not argue about your understanding of the word "professional" but I don't think Harmony Assistant is "full of bugs".
I have used it for several years, and I found it really stable. Moreover, I haven't heard of any programming team who are able to address any user's problem so promptly and listen to the user's needs so as to implement whatever function he needs.
Now, what I'd like to get is the "documentation" you have, to prove your assertion. You are welcome to send me any evidence :
First, because I doubt very much you can gather such documentation.
Secondly, because -imagining your are right- the best way to improve things improve is to bring them to the users' (or programmers') attention.

Re: Harmony Assistant: full of bugs

I have very rarely seen a software with as few bugs as Harmony Assistant. I have been using Harmony Assistant for many years, and the software is brilliant, cheap, and the support is excellent. I would appreciate if other software vendors could copy Harmony Assistant quality!

Re: Harmony Assistant: full of bugs

You are not serious. I'm using HA without problem, and the community with the brother Guillon are always able to help us on their forum

Re: Harmony Assistant: full of bugs

Usted miente, o simplemente es un ignorante. Es mas, creo recordarle por el foro de Myriad, diciendo sus incoherencias.
H.A. es, aunque les pese a muchos, uno de los mejores software de notación musical. Ninguno es tan versátil. La ayuda en la myriada es extraordinaria. Todo el programa se hace en equipo, liderado por los hermanos Guillion, incansables investigadores, y receptivos informáticos que llevan a cabo las sugerencias de los colaborados. Harmony Assistant, es un programa a la medida de los usuarios.

Harmony Assistant Bravo!

The description of Harmony Assistant here hardly begins to describe all that it does. Must try to believe. It evolves! Meaning if you purchased it years ago. Version 1. you have a myriad of updates, features added, in an uncomplicated way for all these years with no x-tra charge. They are up to date on the latest. Example. Exporting and importing to .Ogg. added Months ago which is better than Mp3

Composing My Own Music

Harmony Assistant has a great many people sharing, composing their own music, like a comunity. The software can be set to do many things. Like enter notes real time from the computer text keyboard, or from a midi keyboard.
Omer is an add on, Scans music sheets on your scanner, puts in notes you can play it in Harmony.

Download problem

I cant seem to get the dowmload of this program accomplished. Anyplace else I can get this demo from?

Re: Download problem

I notice the Harmony Assistant demo here is just for Windows PC. But there is a Mac version as well! So, yes. Here is the alernative download site.

Harmony Assistant

I received a CD for Harmony Assistand, v. 7.6. I had a hard disk crash and a subsequent replacement. I have tried to install H.A. from the disk but immediately get an error message that says something about not having Uninstall available for H.A. It will not let me proceed beyond this point in the installation. I can install Melody Assistant but not H.A.

Suggestions?

Re: Harmony Assistant

Harmony Assistant is a Myriad product. Has a website. Has a webboard, and support from it is usually less than a few hours. I have found Harmony Assistant to be the most bug free software I ever owned. Very happy with it. It does more than you can imagine. Same with Melody Assistant. But Harmony has really taken off! now you can write programs with it for features you can think of > make sure you order for PC if you have PC and Mac if you have Macintosh. I think you have already solved your problem.

Better than Finale!

It's interface is much better, much easier, and more versile than any music notation software I have ever used. Don't download anything else, this is the best. AND IT'S A FULL DEMO!!! You can print and everything, unlike Finale's demo.

Re: Composing My Own Music

Dear Ruth,
I had a similar situation and would like to know
if you found a more recent offering of the same
type. Do you have an email address for Questar?
Sincerely,
Ken Hoffman

Re: Composing My Own Music

I once had a program titled "Music Transcription System II by Questar Products Ltd" which allowed me to play by ear any song on the computer keyboard. It showed the staff and notes as I played them. I could also changed the note and the timing as well as being able to print it out. This program will no longer work on my updated computer and I certainly would like another program with the same capabilities.
When I hear a song I want to remember so that I can play it by ear, I used to play it on my computer keyboard and then print it out. I play for different organizations and would like to know if there is a similar program available.

Re: Composing My Own Music

I have that program right here, and it does work on my current computer, running Win98SE. Are you sure it won't work on your computer?

Never seen so many General protection failures!

Just downloaded latest version (7.4.2a) onto my Windows 2000 system,and the product's "About" screen says it all.
So far I've launched the program 42 times and it's failed 19 times!! Failures usually occur when opening files (midi files + some of the mus file samples), but also when trying to use export (WAV). Either the application vanishes without trace, or it comes up with a type C0000005 exception with addresses such as 77FCA8AC, 77FCBFE1, 77FCA778, 77FCA776,... But then when I restart and try exactly the same open/export again it works fine, but then dies on something else later.
I can't believe the product can be this bad, so could it be something wrong with my system - although I have so say that all other software seems to run on it ok!
Anyone else had similar experiences??

Re: Never seen so many General protection failures!

I have 7.4.2. (Just got it.) After reading your comment, I tried importing midi files. I had no Problem. Not only did the program print out the notes (for 5 staves), but the sound was --- well, Great!

I had been having trouble with wave and midi files so I went to the installer program (in my system, its Aptiva Installer) and re-installed the wave and midi drivers (in my system log there was duplication of drivers and I deleted one.) Now I have no problems at all. The Harmony program is an tinker's dream -- complicated (for me) but it offers a lifetime of new experiences and discoveries.

I suspect (in years I am ancient but in computer experience I am an infant -- particularly with midi stuff -- so take what I say with caution, courage, and system disk at hand)that you are having sound board problems that require re-loading or refreshing.

Harmony Assistant 7.4.2

For those of you who have looked for something that does everything -- this is IT.

I have looked at many programs for over a week and while most are "acceptable," some cost big bucks, and some are very reasonable, this Harmony Assistant will impress anyone. What doesn't it DO?

Re: tied notes and triplets

Hi,

Regards

it´s one of the best´s

u8dfkudsystutu it{s great

Wow...

Wow...

I am been looking for a notation/midi program for about 5 years. I have tried just about all of the shareware's and some of the
commercial ones.

The commercial ones are too expensive,
and the shareware/commercial ones
to buggy and just plain annoying
(MidiSoft comes to mind).

This one works... the interface is
delightful, and the price is
extraordinary when you realise
it compares favorably with several
commercial programs with regards
to features.

Please note, I have _NO_ connection
whatsoever with these people. I
am just a very pleased customer!

AND... their Music Notation OCR software
WORKs!!! amazing when you consider it
was released as a 1.0er.

software

Is there any software available that will transpose music say for example if you scanned in some sheet music in the key of C it
could transpose it to the key of Eb. I would be grateful of any advice or information you can offer.

Re: software

If you scan your music into the computer using a program that reads sheet music like midiscan < http://www.musitek.com/ > the
music on the paper is transformed into a MIDI file, then, any software sequencing progam like " MUSICATOR <
www.musicator.com > wiull transpose it to any key you want
Best wishes !
