DrumScriobh
  • Latest Update (19th May 2003). Update your installation to build 7 (to address a number of issues). Approx. file size: 1.5Mb.

Check your own version first to see if you need to update. Details are on the program's Start->About... screen.

Please choose the appropriate update below (be careful!!):

update a download installation (stay online)

update a cdrom installation

  • Rogue notes can't be selected or deleted

Install the most recent update above. These notes will be stripped out when you load in an offending file, and will also be checked and removed when the file is saved.

  • Cannot find the DrumScriobh CD! problem

    • This error sometimes appears with CDROM drives with letters higher than K:.

    This problem should be taken care of in the latest update (above) as long as you run the software either from the start menu or from the desktop (note: running from the "Run DrumScriobh" button when the CDROM autostarts will run the original exe on your CDROM).

    If you don't want to download the update to fix this problem, just download this patch and run it after closing DrumScriobh 2. Follow the instructions to enter your CDROM drive letter (NO colon). When this is done, close it and run DrumScriobh 2 as normal.  

  • If you have an early DrumScriobh 1.0 CD-ROM version and you are unlucky enough to see a message saying something like "PiobMaster must be installed before use", download this patch and run it.
  • DrumScriobh 1.0 can still be downloaded from here.

  • How to import BMW Gold files into PiobMaster

     

    1. Open your .BWW file in MS Notepad
    2. Save the .BWW files as a .BMW file
    3. Strip out all the text at the start of the file relating to playback parameters. Leave only the text relating to tune name/type/author -                               "THE DETROIT HIGHLANDERS"
      "March"
      "Composer's Name"
      ""      
    4. Save your changes.
    5. Open PiobMaster and File->Import
    6. Save tune in PiobMaster
    7. Use Tools->Options, "Half note when grouped" option to correct barring of notes if required.
    8. Edit and correct any import errors - most notable can be notes that required cutting, which  are associated with dotted notes
