                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I tried accessing the 'Dominant 7th Chords' article under Music Theory using firefox (XP) and it doesn't recognize the plugin being used. I tried accessing the same page using IE and it prompted an install for 'Sibelius Scorch'. Looks like an activex component? Might be an issue if you plan on delivering lot of lessons using that.

It is an activeX component, but there is a Mac plugin that works under firefox on macs . . . so i'd think under windows it'd be fine.<br><br>In any case, the same data is available as a pdf from a link in the article.
Anyway a manual install of Scorch worked for Firefox. Cheers.]]></content:encoded>

I have exactly the same problem on that page too, both on Firefox and IE 6 (on Windows XP).<br>With IE (set to allow installation of ActiveX) downloading Scorch after the prompt didn't work either - it said something like<br> "Scorch failed to install correctly (activeX only)"<br>Maybe that's a problem, my side.<br><br>Another problem is INTERVALS. The images look fine on that page but when I click on the big one at the bottom, it opens in a new window, but some of the staff lines are missing. (My screen resolution, in case that's relevant, is 1024X768).<br>Everything else I looked at seems fine.]]></content:encoded>

Yes, I agree. You always can use the "print" button and "print/save as PDF" that page. I guess the system filters the links in the page and only gets the text.]]></content:encoded>

- In the last paragraph of the ear training lesson, I get some nonsense characters, perhaps I'm using a Spanish environment, but I don't get troubles in other pages or sites.


Nope, those were garbage characters. They're gone now.]]></content:encoded>

Yep! :D<br><br>I have a couple of issues:<br><br>- When you select the PDF view, the graphics are not included (for example, as in the harmony lesson).<br>- In the last paragraph of the ear training lesson, I get some nonsense characters, perhaps I'm using a Spanish environment, but I don't get troubles in other pages or sites.<br>- The font size could be too small comparing it with other sites (this one, for example). It isn't a problem to me. Just a comment.]]></content:encoded>
