How to open IGP file?

The most common problem when using Igor Published Music Notation Format is that a specific IGP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IGP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IGP 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 Igor Reader

The first step is to check if the computer has the Igor Reader program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Igor Reader in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IGP files.

Programs to open IGP file

Remember to download programs supporting IGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Igor Reader with IGP files

If, despite the installed application, the IGP file does not start in the Igor Reader application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IGP file with the Igor Reader program.

Step 3. Update Igor Reader to the latest version

If, however, after binding Igor Reader with Igor Published Music Notation Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IGP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IGP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IGP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IGP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IGP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 ability to automatically repair IGP file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file IGP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IGP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IGP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IGP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
