How to find Print Music 2008

[colin bray]

How do I find Print Music 2008 disc or download for Windows? I used to have it but when I upgraded to 2014 version, I deleted the 2008 version which I very much want as it puts the chords and text etc. in colors.

The only way would be to look on eBay or Amazon. MM does not keep older versions.

I'm not sure when they made that change.

Thanks for your speedy reply.I have tried ebay and Amazon and this forum but I have had no luck. Is there any way in 2014 version to get the chords and/or titles in a color?

Did you click on the link I provided? That shows two sellers who have it.

You can't change colors in PrintMusic. (You used to be able to do it, although it wasn't easy.) You would need the full Finale.

Thank you again for your reply.I am sorry I did not click on the link.I am not too familiar with forums on the computer, but I will click on it after I have written this entry.

Am I able to show the chords in red [or any color] on my new 2014 Printmusic version?

I am sorry to cause you this trouble,

Colin Bray.

No, sorry. You will need the full Finale (any version) to do that.

Older versions of PM had the colors in a text file, and with a little scrounging around, you could change them. They have changed the file format to something else (SQL, or something) with no user-serviceable parts inside.

Thank you again.This morning[England time] I ordered a 2008 PM from the Amazon outlet you sent me. I am very pleased and I hope I will be able to download it and register it when it arrives in 2 or3 weeks time.
