 Alan BBlack screen unable to use Songview
Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809 This update has made Songview virtually unusable. Unable to view anything as we now have a black screen both in preview and show modes. Can work around by going to preferences and selecting legacy, then going to the STD button and double clicking. Any ideas?

Yes just noticed this on a new laptop. If you just use the legacy setting for now it will be OK. Meanwhile working on a fix.

Open the Preferences dialog and go to the Display tab. Look for the legacy text rendering checkbox. It switches back to GDI text rendering rather than Direct Write. There is a bug in Windows that I am hoping they will fix otherwise I will need to do a work around

The code in version 4.518 has been modified so that it now works with this Windows release.
