I ran Secunia PSI on my system just now, and it is reporting that the version of PHP installed in NoteWorthy (version 5.3) is out of date. I've checked and it appears that the current (issued) version is 5.4.15. Is there a way a non-programmer like me could upgrade? I think that I should wait for the upgrade to PHP to be included in NoteWorthy, but if someone has upgraded and can provided instructions, I'd try it out. While I could copy the files that are in the PHP sub-folder, I assume there may be DLLs installed elsewhere, and/or registry entries. And php.ini may need alteration. So I'm leaving it alone for now! I'm not aware that there are security issues with the older version.
Edit:- A bit of further digging found this on the Secunia site:-
A vulnerability has been reported in PHP, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "soap_xmlParseFile()" and "soap_xmlParseMemory()" functions (ext/soap/php_xml.c) when parsing XML entities via SOAP objects, which can potentially be exploited to e.g. disclose contents of certain local files by sending specially crafted XML data including external entity references.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 5.3.23 and 5.4.13. ******************************************
Properties sheet details the installed version of PHP as version 5.3.20-dev
Some of the (4 voice) hymns I am notating require the use of layering. I am printing them showing treble and bass staves only. This means that flagged note stems lengths have to be adjusted to get flags to align. 8th note flags align correctly when the appropriate stem is lengthened, without any adjustment to the other layered note stem.
However, 16th flags do not align correctly when layering, unless "override stem length" is checked for the shorter of the pair of layered notes. The normal stem length for a 16th note shows as 7, but checking "override stem length". without altering the value, actually shortens the stem slightly. This results in correct flag alignment with the other (lengthened stem) on the layered staff.
I am using beta 19 on Vista 32.
Another anomaly that has appeared with beta 19, is that the selection highlight on selected areas/notes does not always clear when moving the insertion point (either with the keyboard or the mouse. I installed a new Logitech Bluetooth MX 5000 keyboard/mouse combo at about the same time as beta 19 and this issue may be related to that, rather than the beta. The selection highlight clears after inserting a note, or other its\em, so is not serious.
