Dear Dan, welcome back. Glad to know you didn't suffer too much from your hard drive crash. I'll patiently wait for what ever comes next. Cheers, JPR http://myspace.com/jeanphilipperykiel ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Rugman To: 'Sibelius Access List' Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 3:50 AM Subject: [sib-access] Back on-line Dear all, as you all know, I had a few technical problems recently but I'm now up and running again. All it took was a new hard drive and a full windows install from scratch. One of the first problems I encountered was in not being able to log on to my pop3 email server. Things started to get rapidly worse from there and I eventually determined that the cause was a failing hard drive. Fortunately, I'm rather fussy about back-ups so, nothing of import was lost. It's going to take me a while to trawl through the backlog of messages but I'll reply to anything which hasn't been covered in other peoples replies. In the mean time I ask for your patience. I know that you're all wondering about the next beta version. I was estimating that it would take about a week to finish beta 2 before my system went down. Unfortunately things are a little busier with Christmas coming up and it will take a day or too to get my head back in the game. I'd like to get something out in time for the new year but I can't make any promises so please don't get you're hopes up too much. One thing which I will be doing over the next few days is giving the website a full make over. Most of the pages are already written so it's just a question of proof-reading and uploading them. It might seem strange to make the website a higher priority than the scripts themselves but we've received several support enquiries which could have been covered in a more detailed set of pages. I'll be including a list of minimum requirements, a list of contributors, a brief overview of what Sibelius can do and I'll put the guide up as an on-line resource. I'm only working on the documentation for beta 2 which is significantly more detailed than that for beta 1. I'll put the beta guide on-line when beta 2 is released. There's no point in doing it before then because there are a large number of small changes to JAWS messages which will cause confusion.
