I like that Guitar Pro is created by just a small company and I'm happy to pay for something I find so useful. I also use Guitar Pro for producing handouts and MP3s for teaching lessons. Muse score is great and I use that, but when it comes to writing any guitar music I find Guitar Pro the best and it is my go to software. It's not got all the engraving tools like Sibelius but then I found that had far more than I needed. You can write other instrument parts as well, such as drums. is a desktop app that teaches you to play MIDI keyboards, pad controllers, and drums. You can enter notes in either tab or notation. Compare TuxGuitar VS Yousician and find out whats different. I find it very easy to try out different articulations and timings when writing something and tweak it so it sounds how you want it. Its designed for guitar so it's perfect for transcriptions and writing out ideas and arrangements. I just did one of 32 bars of a Kenny Burrell solo and one by Eric Johnson ( the Jazz guitarist Eric Johnson - great player by the way) Like any software it's got a learning curve but it's quite easy to use. I did a couple of transcriptions recently for a jazz course using Guitar Pro. I really like Guitar Pro 7.5 and think it is worth the money. Although it is intended for the guitar, you can attach it to other instruments. (about 65 Euro) isn't going to break the bank, but I tend to buy software that I wind up never using. This tool supports a wide list of LADSPA and LV2 plugins. Is that intentional? Does everyone use it so no mention is needed, or do people hate it and go elsewhere? If so, where? There aren't a lot of references to GP here on the forum. And it has every instrument packed with up to 6700 samples and each preset featuring up to 49 articulations. I'd like to be able to isolate a few bars and repeat them, so I can practice specific parts of a song, perhaps slow down the tempo until my fingers get adjusted to the piece, and so on. The plugin covers nine instruments, including three electric guitars (clean, chorus, blues), nylon, steel, mandolin, two jazz guitars (plectrum and finger), and banjo. GP seems to have a lot of features - possibly more than I can use - but I like what I've seen so far. I've used MuseScore 3.0, which is a nifty program for the price (free!), but I find it difficult for my purposes. So, I'm only on day three of my trial, and I'm still working despite the COVID-19 issue, so my time with the program has been limited. That site has a lot of really interesting, professionally created song files, too. I did notice that through their site, free access to mySongBook is free through May 31. So, I downloaded it and am on my 30 day free trial. Wanting to know more, I searched for reviews on this program and found nearly everyone raving about it, especially the latest 7.5 release. I have used Ultimate Guitar for song information and note they too, have GP files. I notice that many of the lessons offered on jazzguitar.be are offered in Guitar Pro file format.
