“大将”复出,又将问题引到另一个高度——如何达到出版质量的要求。大家对QM软件开发者也就会有更多更高的期许和寄托。QM软件制作的简谱要真正达到出版的要求,在排版、编辑问题解决后,急待解决的恐怕就是输出质量的问题。
熟悉Encore制谱软件的朋友都知道,该软件采用了一个很狡猾或者说是一种很便捷的办法,就是下载安装了第三方(Adobe)的打印驱动程序后,就能在该软件中直接输出EPS格式了。在Win9X的时代,我曾用此法为朋友出版过音乐作品。XP以后就直接用虚拟打印机输出了。如图:
如果你的电脑中未安装Adobe这个驱动程序,则会出现无法输出EPS的提示。可见,并非Encore软件自带的,或许只是需要解决个软件接口的问题吧。下面是一段与之相关的帮助文字(遗憾的是英文),供参考:
he EPS driver is made by Adobe Systems, Inc. It must be downloaded from their web site, so you will need access to the Internet and a web browser. If you already have the correct files, and just need to set them up, start at step #8 below. 1. Go to the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com 2. Under the Adobe logo in the top left corner, click "Products," the second entry from the left. 3. Scroll down until you see "Adobe Printer Drivers" in the left column. (It should be the 11th entry.) Click "Adobe Printer Drivers." 5. Scroll down until you see a table with several listings under the titles "Platform" and "Product." Under "Product," click "Adobe PS 4.1." 6.Scroll down until you see several lines of red text against the left margin. Click on "Download Software." Read the information under "Description." It contains information you might need regarding PPD files. Also, you will need to "unzip" the driver file once you have downloaded it. If you are unfamiliar with "zipping" and "unzipping," and/or if you don't posess a zip program such as WinZip or PkZip, read the information under "Handling Notes." When you are ready to download, scroll down to the bottom of the page, then under "Download the file from the Adobe FTP site," click the appropriate text for the file you want. 7.Open the downloaded file in your zip program. Unzip the file, saving it in whichever folder you prefer. 8.Right-click the "Start" button and click "Explore." Navigate to the folder containing your unzipped files and double-click "Setup.exe." 9.Follow the instructions in the installation program: When you reach the "Install Postscript Printer from PPD" dialog, navigate to the Windows/System folder, then select "Adobe Default Printer." In the "Local Port Selection" dialog, select "Creates a File on Disk." In the "Add Printer" dialog, under "Do you want to use this printer as your default printer?", select "No." Under "Would you like to print the test page?", select "No." In the "Printer Properties" dialog box, click OK. When Encore is run, the "Export to EPS" feature should be enabled.
QM软件能否也借鉴这种“移花接木”的办法来解决高质量输出的问题呢?也想听听江老师的见解。
