Getting start again

Power Mac Desktop motherboard is breakdown, new installation of version 6.15 in Laptop, getting start again.
1.how to install necessary Library ( Repmus etc. …), or can I transfer (copy) the old Library of OM6.9 to OM 6.15?
2. New installation of Midishare? where can I download the new version of Midishare? thanks!

A good advice, is to re-install the latest versions. (om6.15, latest libraries…)
And by the way, no need for Midishare anymore. The project is unfortunately dead and out a long time ago

Hi! Karim, thanks for your response.
I have downloaded and installed OM 6.15, but only Application without Libraries, Resources etc. how can I complete? could you attach the exact downloaded Website?
In fact, the OM 6.9 package and Workspace are still in the old hard disc ( ref. screenshot), of course the App OM 6.9 can’t perform, if I can merge App OM 6.15 with the OM 6.9 package together, that seems ideally. thank you again for more instructions.

Hi Shing-kwei

No don’t merge om6.9 and 6.15 together. You may leave them side by side in the Application folder but don’t mix them together. As for the libraries, follow the instructions here:

http://repmus.ircam.fr/openmusic/libraries

Now the libraries could be in a separate folder. Once you load a workspace, go to preferences, choose the libraries tab and select the path to the libraries folder on you disk.
However some old libraries may not work, so that’s why i advice to update to thelatest libraries. (you can find all links on the same page indicated above.)

Hello! Karim,
my new experiment, first forgot and blocked old hard disk of OM 6.9. open OM 6.15 and created a Workspace and new patch. then installed the Preference / Library, it goes smoothly. only Function / Library is completed. ( but temporary when close reopen OM then will disappear again ref. screenshot Library Function), the Class / Library is empt ( ref. Library Class ) .
the result of musicxml is also problematic. ( ref. musicxml errors 1-4),
then import to Finale from Musicxml is incompleted. by the way let me attach the Preference.lisp.txt file.
I appreciate very much for your helps.

Hello friends, My Library Location => shingkweitzeng/OM/Libraries/
I have loaded in Preference ( ref. how to load library 1), but in Function and Classe / Library still empt, please give more details, thank you very much.

Yes this is good. Just close and reopen your preferences. You will find a window like this:

Just check the library you want to auto load OR:
choose from OM’s menu Windows the Library item. this will open this window:

Then open the libraries suitcase and double click on the LOWER part of any library suitcase you want to load.
