How to open R2K file?
The most common problem when using Repertoire 2000 Music Database is that a specific R2K is not associated with the program. This causes the file R2K to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R2K file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Repertoire 2000
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Repertoire 2000 is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Repertoire 2000 in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file R2K with Repertoire 2000. Below is a list of programs that support the file R2K.
Programs to open R2K file
Remember to download programs supporting R2K files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Repertoire 2000 with R2K files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R2K file to open in the Repertoire 2000 application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the R2K file with the Repertoire 2000 application.
Step 3. Update Repertoire 2000 to the latest version
If, however, after binding Repertoire 2000 with Repertoire 2000 Music Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BTM Innovation Pty Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R2K file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The R2K file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R2K file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R2K or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected R2K file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the R2K files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R2K files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R2K files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move R2K to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the R2K file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
