Help, Guitar Pro 4.0

[Piranha]

Yeah I know, I ask lots of questions about programs.

Is there a way to change the Tempo in the middle of a song you write?

thanks.

put your cursor at the correct measure and the correct beat where you want to change the tempo, right click, go at Mix Table (F10). Then, click on "Tempo" and set your new tempo. If you have other questions, ask me!

I have a better idea... Use Powertab. Proprietary-format tablature is pretty lame.

[Piranha]

Thanks Dave.
No thanks Farren ;)

[Farren]

Tab-newbie :P

[Piranha]

I.... won't even bother.

[Farren]

Sorry, I'm a real software fascist :/ After weighing a lot of ptb vs gt3/4, I find the ptb tabbers are usually more accurate, and they aren't paying anything to produce the tabs.

I "purchased" GP4 for nothing at all, and use it as a notation program for myself...not to use other people's transcriptions. If you're using it to arrange your own music, it doesn't matter which group makes better tabs.

Plus the GP setup was real easy for me to get into. I never did grasp how to work everything in PTB....but then again I haven't tried very hard either.

Yeah, I guess GT is like the AOL of tabbing software. You can't do much but what you can do is quite simple, and they'll overcharge the hell out of you.

Not really, GP is one fine product for creating complex songs, please do point out something that you can do with power tab that i can't do with guitar pro.

the version i have really sux, i dont know if it's better now or not. Whenever i want to play something my midi volume goes way up automatically and the display becomes fullscreen and i cant start playing anything at the middle of a measure(always starts from the beginning of it).

also the interface is really shity for selecting tracks or changing parameters of a track, plus no percussion track.

i dont mean to bash PT but i just have to point this out and ask you to prove to me whats so good about it that is worth bashing GP( aside from it not being free) ?

[Farren]

I just always found GuitarPro to be bloatware.

[Liquid Shadow]

Aside from having to pay for it (if you want to have it legally), I see no reason that it's any worse than Power Tab...especially since it's so much easier to get good with. The fact that you have to pay shouldn't matter anyways, since that's the case with 95% of the software out there, music related or not. That's what people do - they pay for products. It's nice that Power Tab is free, but that doesn't mean that anything else that requires payment is any worse of a program for it...it just means that it costs more.



What can you do in Power Tab that can't be done in Guitar Pro?

[Farren]

A lot of my bias is related to the interface. I don't really see why a tab program should require a high resolution. I appreciate PT's more subtle interface. Yeah you don't technically HAVE to pay for GP4, but I don't like the idea of charging $60 for a program when you have one just as capable and more popular (more standard for guitarists on the internet) for free. I can't really comment on the newer versions of GP. I haven't used it in a long time. Perhaps it's as featured as PT now.

I like notepad.

What can you do in Power Tab that can't be done in Guitar Pro?

Make notation that looks like the standard stuff you see in books and magazines for one... GP's notation system looks super screwy.

Thats true. But in Power Tabs is a lot easier than GP
