IGP File Complications
Issues Opening IGP Files
NoteHeads Igor Reader Disappeared
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open IGP Files" when trying to open your IGP. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have NoteHeads Igor Reader for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your IGP with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: Another IGP-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated NoteHeads Igor Reader
In other instances, your Igor Published Music Notation File file version may not be supported by your version of NoteHeads Igor Reader.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your IGP file and clicking "Properties".
Summary: Not having the right NoteHeads Igor Reader version on your computer can cause problems opening IGP files.
