• Rhapsody three Font menu error

    From Stuart@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 14 16:05:25 2021
    I haven't used Rhapsody 3 for quite a while and I now have a need to use
    it.

    When I try to run it it comes up with an error "Font menu has active
    tasks" and dies.

    This is with RO4.39 on a Kinetic, from a clean start.

    Help!!

    Can look but it was all working when I last used it.

    Just to be clear the problem is R3 on my old Kinetic.

    R4 on my ARMX6 works fine thanks to you.

    I've just got R3 running via Aemulor on the ARMX6 and I finally figured
    out how to get sound out my ARMX6. It seems it was set to the audio jack
    and my monitor was looking for audio on HDMI.

    Ok , It may be a font cache issue that has changed ?

    At one stage, there was an issue with 2 quite different RMs both being
    called FontMenu - one was the toolbox module, and the other was a third
    party (Joris Roling). Rhapsody was one of the programs that was
    affected, but I don't know which version of Rhapsody (if any) fixed it.

    It's worthwhile checking to see if your version of Rhapsody is trying
    to RMEnsure a local module called FontMenu rather than referencing the
    location of the toolbox. If so, this may well be the issue. There's a
    way round it, but the instructions are quite complex and there's no
    point in posting it until it's been confirmed that this is the problem.

    Thanks, I'll check tonight when I get back in from work but the puzzle is
    that it used to work fine. I did what I needed to do on the ARMX6 with
    Aemulor but I would still like to get it sorted

    Whether it will work or not is dependent on whether another app has
    RMEnsure'd (the toolbox version of) FontMenu before Rhapsody 3 tries.

    This could be as minor as a toolbox app being added to the "Look At"
    path at boot time.

    For information, with !Rhapsody4 you can import Rhapsody3 and Rhapsody2
    files using !R4convert in Support directory. I use it to convert Maestro
    files.

    Nice music.

    Yes. When I got R4, I used to convert files from R3 to R4 format for
    printing, though I still often found it necessary to import into Draw-plus
    to tidy scores up to my satisfaction.
