25 CHAPTER 1<br />

Installation and Setup<br />

or a Roland JV-1080 synthesiser, you need to manually set the Performance to<br />

Concerto (No. 27) to get the right patches played back.<br />

Please note that QuickTime takes an inordinate amount of time to change<br />

patches during playback – sometimes more than half a second, sometimes less.<br />

Therefore, you may occasionally experience that the first note (or notes) of a piece<br />

is played back with the wrong instrument. Thus, this behaviour is not a bug and<br />

has nothing to do with <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong>.<br />

1.9 A Step-By-Step Guide to Installing <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong><br />

(Macintosh)<br />

For those who prefer an easy to follow step-by-step approach during the installation<br />

process, this section may prove very valuable.<br />

1.9.1 Downloading Other Software<br />

In case you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, start by downloading<br />

that application. If you use an old version of Acrobat Reader, the <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong><br />

<strong>Manual</strong> may not be displayed properly.<br />

You will also need Open Music System (OMS) which takes care of <strong>Igor</strong><br />

<strong>Engraver</strong>’s MIDI handling.<br />

1.9.2 Downloading and Unpacking<br />

(This section is written for those who read the manual before downloading <strong>Igor</strong>.<br />

If you have already downloaded the program – skip to the next section.)<br />

Start by downloading <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong> from www.noteheads.com. Downloading is<br />

easy – simply fill out the download form and press Download. <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong> is a<br />

large program – around 25 MB in size – so the downloading process will take a<br />

while.<br />

When the downloading process has been completed, double-click the <strong>Igor</strong><br />

<strong>Engraver</strong> Installer icon to unpack the program. Note that you need StuffIt<br />

Expander from Aladdin Systems, Inc to unpack it. StuffIt Expander is downloadable<br />

for free on www.aladdinsys.com.
