If you lost the "Personal Composer" program due to a virus and need to reinstall it, you should try the following steps:

  1. Check if you have a backup of the installation files or any previous email with the purchase information.
  2. Visit the official website of "Personal Composer" or contact their support team to see if you can download the software again using your previous purchase details or license key.
  3. If you purchased it through a third-party vendor, check if you can re-download it from your account with that vendor.
  4. Ensure your computer's antivirus is up-to-date and perform a thorough scan before reinstalling any software to avoid losing it again to another virus.

If none of these options are viable, you may need to purchase the software again.

Unfortunately, we do not have the information on the font name for Personal Composer 2.0.1. You may need to contact the software provider or try searching online for the font name.

Is Personal Composer for Windows 10 the same as for 7? I assume there is no support for it, correct?

Answer by Sean Hill

There are no different versions for different Windows releases. The latest version of Personal Composer from its official website works on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. I've just tested this and the same application is installed on the tested systems. There is absolutely nothing different in functionality and looks.


Access the official website to download the installation program. Make sure that you use Run as Administrator.

After checking the only version of Personal Composer I come to the conclusion that the only way to convert the files is with the help of Import/Functions found in the applications because there is no standalone/dedicated converter to automatically convert from a previous version to the new one.


Make sure that you have both versions of the applications installed on your PC and then use Import from the one and Export from the other. This is the only way to achieve this.

I cut and paste music from Personal Composer (I am using version 2.0.1) into Microsoft Publisher documents and they don't always print properly. It doesn't cope with the music notation font and shrinks the music so it is unreadable.

Answer by Sean Hill

When you initiate a printing procedure, there is the possibility to check the output. It's called Print Preview. Before printing, go to this option (typically found in the main menu bar), then adjust the settings per your needs.


Secondly, when you open the Print window, go to Print Preferences and choose the layout, margins, page fit, etc., then Personal Composer will print correctly on the paper you're using.
