![]() ![]() And they have a one-time-forever payment for the license.ĭownside to H.A. is not FLOSS, but they are exceptionally responsive to users, including an active forum and a whole procedure for involving users in development decisions. Overall, it is a superb program that offers a lot over the current Musescore. even does tab and imports GP files so it competes with Tux Guitar on that. has a very high quality plugin framework too. It also integrates audio recording, but minimally. It also has a really remarkable "virtual singer" add-on. in full includes tons of options, very easy access to MIDI details of the notes, every darn thing is editable. ![]() How it compares to Musescore? It is fair to say it is much more mature but also dated. I'm looking forward to getting it working on GNU/Linux. If you only need to replace the opening casement frames or individual panes of glass, leaving the frame in place, you will not need approval.I own and use H.A. You will need to apply for this if you want to replace all windows and some doors in domestic and commercial buildings, when the whole window frame needs to be replaced. Outside of conservation areas, we will consider replacement PVCu windows on the merits of their design, the look of the building and local area. You will only get approval to replace windows on the front of buildings in conservation areas with PVCu windows where they match the originals very closely. If the external appearance of the building will be affected to a large extent, you would need planning permission to alter or replace any windows. The main exception is that you would need planning permission to remove or alter a window facing a highway within the Avenues and Pearson Park conservation area, Boulevard conservation area and Coltman Street conservation area. When only one household lives in a building (so it is not shared by more than six people or split into flats), it is usually possible to alter or replace windows without applying for planning permission. You would normally not get consent to put PVCu windows into a listed building. Like for like repairs, done with exactly matching materials, design and form would normally not need consent. You will normally need to apply for listed building consent to alter or replace windows in a listed building. Large paned Victorian and Edwardian designs are often more convincing than Georgian small paned or 'arts and crafts' types. ![]() It is possible to get PVCu windows that follow traditional designs more closely, but these can be expensive. PVCu windows crudely reproduce some authentic features, although designs are improving all the time. Poor reproductions can affect the character, appearance and architectural harmony of a building and can even reduce the value of a property. Many traditional designs are still mass produced, so you may be able to buy them ready made.īe careful to avoid replacement windows whose makers claim that they match historic details when they obviously do not. It is possible to reproduce traditional windows - try builders, joiners or restorers for a tailored service. When there is no other alternative, replacement windows should match the originals in proportion, design and position. Old glass of historic interest can also be salvaged using an infra-red heating device to soften hard putty. If you have a sash window that is stuck or difficult to open or close, you might simply need to get heavy paint build-up removed or get a joiner to fit new cords, weights and pulleys. To improve draught proofing, insulation and ease of access for cleaning you could consider weather stripping, secondary glazing or fitting 'simplex' window ironmongery - this allows traditional sashes to swing inwards. If you have a window frame or sill that is partly rotten, a joiner might be able to splice in new timber or repair the damage using a filler. In most cases there are cost-effective alternatives to replacing them. The view is often that traditional windows can be expensive to maintain, difficult to repair or impossible to improve. ![]()
