    SCRIPTS

    For the BUTTON BAR: You need "Adobe Flash Player" (once called: "Macromedia's Shockwave Flash") plug-in to operate the button bar. Go to www.adobe.com for the latest free plug-in download, or, use www.google.com to search "adobe flash plugin" and choose a download site.

    For the SCROLLING TEXT BAR: You need Java script 1.2.

  • KNOWN BUG! = not compatable with browser "IE 5.2" for Mac. SOLUTION = Substitute browser "Safari" for Mac.

    SPELLINGS

    Suffixes (HTML file extensions): The Home Page is "Index.html," all other pages end with ".htm" (NOT .html), except for:

  • "Woods.html"
  • "shop1.html"
  • "BMP.html"
  • "records.html"
    Some servers overwrite these 3-letter suffix extensions converting all of them to 4-letter "html."
  • NOTE: If you need to type a page name into your URL browser address box, type it with the 3-letter or 4-letter extension as applicable. [TIP: URLs can be copied from the bottom of this page as needed | here.]

    Prefix (domain name): buckthornstudios.com is a registered domain name spelled without "www." as a prefix. Adding "www." should not pose any problem on most servers, in fact, sometimes it will be required.

    AUDIO

    Real.com (1) You need RealPlayer G2 or better. CLICK ON THE LOGO. Once installed, clicking on any file link with extensions ".rm" or ".ram" will automatically launch the player.

  • (2) OPTIONAL! - once installed, if the Real Audio Player does not automatically launch when you click on a file link . . . do this. When on a page offering Real Audio files, you can:
  • 1. "Right click" (PC) the file link.
  • 2. Choose "save target as" to bring it down to your hard drive.
  • 3. Launch your Real Player.
  • 4. Then use the "open file" feature in your Real Audio Player. (Since the file has been saved, you can do this while "on" -or- "off" line.)

    DOCUMENTS

    Adobe Acrobat Reader (1) All text and music require Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or later (.PDF files). CLICK ON THE LOGO. HINT = some PCs need you to click on the browser's "reload button" after the Adobe Plug-in loads; the page will then display just fine. Also,

    CODA Music, Inc. (2) the Adobe Acrobat music pages *may or may not* require you to have installed the TrueType music fonts called "Petrucci" or "Maestro." If your music page has squares where note heads should be, then that is most likely your problem. These fonts are available from Coda Music (CLICK ON THE LOGO), or, download from here (you must then install them to your operating system).
    CLICK and save (.ttf): Petrucci Music Font | Maestro Music Font

    SYNTHESIZED MUSIC

    Computer-synthesized sound clips (as marked) are rough demos intended for use with the music score as an aid to prospective conductors, soloists & researchers interested in an acoustic piece which has no quality live recording to date.

  • Otherwise, sound clips are live performances. All clips are compressed for stereo 96Hz, 56K download (file type "Real Audio" - .rm). Many are over 500KB (.5MB) - please be patient. They do not stream.

    Contact 940.566.0315 (USA) "sales -at- buckthornstudios.com" for MUSIC DEMO RECORDINGS available in full-length on CD and cassettes, by request (some handling charges might apply).
