Instructions for viewing and playing the Bellringers' Hymn Music

If you cannot see the music score, follow these instructions:

Note: We plan to put more material on the website which uses this software (such as examples of various call changes), so we do recommend that you download it.

  • Open a new browser window (usually ctrl+n) NOW (duplicating this page) so you can read these instructions whilst carrying them out!
  • Click here to download the free software "Scorch".
  • Click the appropriate button to Select your type of computer - Windows (PC) or Mac (Macintosh).
  • Enter your email address in the box provided.
  • Click on 'Next' button.
    If you are a Windows user:
  • On the next (new) page, click on "Get Scorch 2".
  • When dialogue box opens, select "Run from current location".
  • The download will take 4-5 minutes depending on modem speed.
  • When it asks if you want to "Install and run?", click yes, ignoring the error message.
    If you are a Mac user:
  • Click on the location button appropriate to your geographical location.
  • Click the 'Download' button.
  • After the download completes, the installer package will be on your desktop (or wherever your downloads normally go). Double-click it to install and follow the instructions of the installer.
    For both Windows and Mac users:
  • Go back to the Hymn page on the Wirral Branch Website.
  • Click on the "Refresh" button.
  • The music should appear! If it doesn't, you may have to exit your browser and restart it. If that doesn't work you may have to restart your computer.
  • Press the play button (single blue arrow), and adjust speed (using the slider - move it to the right to make it faster) as appropriate.

    If you have any problems, please contact Wirral Branch Webmaster.
