This is a boon for anyone preparing tabs for students or for general distribution (either in hard copy or electronically). Press one key, and you are tabbing a drop 'C' tuned banjo. As well, you can build input templates for your favorite instrument and favorite screen layout. The printing utilities which were brutalized in version 5 have been upgraded and reinstalled in the new version. The primary strength of GP, in my opinion, has always been the intuitive, expansive, input system. The display and user interface are all new, as are the input system and printing utilities. They have completely rewritten the entire package. As disappointed as I was with Version 5, I am impressed with Version 6. Guitar Pro released a new version of their software yesterday. "Self preservation is a full time occupation" There is a new version close to release (or, so I have been told) and they may bring things back up to par, however, they are going to have to convince me before I buy GP again, They removed all of the print controls, which, for me rendered it nearly useless. Originally, I loved it, but a new company took it over for version 5, and they really degraded it. I have been with GuitarPro since it first came out. Not for banjo of course, because almost everyone here seems to use TablEdit.ĭo you know of a tool a tool to convert between GP and TablEdit? One of the reasons I've been leaning towards GP is that the amount of tabs for it is much larger.
I've noticed a couple of bugs that I consider pretty annoying, but because I don't have the full version I haven't done any printing. I hadn't realized that GuitarPro had issues.
