Create and print guitar music and tablature
Tux-Guitar is a complete composition tool for guitarists that can be used to create tablature from ordinary notation.
As well as recording and printing music, Tux-Guitar can be used as a practice tool as it can scroll automatically.
There is a fretboard view for working out the different notes used in a chord. Chords can also be constructed with the chord tool.
Other guitar specific effects such as bending strings and vibrato are also supported.
Files saved in the gp3 and gp4 formats as created by the Guitar Pro software from Arobas Music can be used. Tux-Guitar can save to those formats.
Tux-Guitar is written in Java and there are versions available for Mac and Linux as well as Windows.
Sadly there is no help file included with the software.
