Installing PrintMusic onto your hard disk is easy. Before you begin installing PrintMusic, make sure there’s enough room on your hard disk to hold the program and its associated files. For a full installation, you’ll need about one hundred megabytes (100,000K) of free space on your hard disk. You should also bear in mind that, like many other software programs, PrintMusic creates and makes use of “temporary files” during its normal operations, which it then deletes from your hard disk when you exit the program. We recommend having an additional ten megabytes (10,000K) of free disk space for these files.
Because some virus detection programs can prevent certain files from installing properly, we recommend you temporarily disable anti-virus programs. Rest assured, your PrintMusic CD does not contain any viruses. If you are installing on Windows XP Professional or Vista, make sure you are logged in as the System Administrator and reboot after installation.
Note: The installer sets up a folder called “Finale PrintMusic 2014” for the PrintMusic program and its associated files and folders. Do not alter this setup.
Note: If upon trying to install, you get the error message: “Cannot find the file,” your CD/DVD drive may be assigned to a letter other than D. Look in “My Computer” to find out which letter is associated with your CD or DVD drive.
When you open any older Finale family notation file (from the File menu, choose Open, then navigate to your older file), PrintMusic takes a moment to convert it into the new format, then opens it as an “Untitled” file. If you save the file in PrintMusic using the same name as before, you will not be able to reopen that file using an earlier version of PrintMusic. It is suggested, therefore, that you save the file with a slightly different name (for instance, “My Score” could become “My Score 2”), unless you are absolutely sure that you won’t need to reopen it in an earlier version of PrintMusic.
