Hello everyone, I am looking for software to write music sheets and tabs. A friend and music teacher uses Guitar Pro, but it's a little pricey for my occasional use.
It doesn't have to be an all-in-one solution. So for example, if you know a piece of software that does just cord visualization that's also highly appreciated.
Tux Guitar comes to mind but some things like chord diagrams isn't done as well as guitar pro (imo).
For chord diagrams (like at the top of GP), there's hundreds of websites out there which show those and its probably quicker to just use those. I'll usually just search "C chord ".
Nice to see that there's still dev activity at Tux Guitar.
I would recommend this version, it is more active. Found it when reading through the SourceForge comments.
Hi I didn't know this project!
- lilypond
- denemo
- musescore (has chord symbols and playback)
- songwrite
- tuxguitar
- chordii
- nted
- sweep
- rosegarden
I'm daily using ABC notation with abcm2ps/abc2midi...
Tuxguitar has a fork with update development (android version included), and for looking up chords (guitar) you can check there is "fretboard" in flathub.
Fretboard is for looking up chords, I reckon
Edit: nvm. Misread your comment as "looking up chords (guitar) on Flathub"
My bad, English is not my mother tongue. Tuxguitar has also for chords and yu can add them to pdfs when printing.
Don't fret. I was the one reading quickly, leading to a misreading. Hence why I was able to spot my mistake upon re-reading your comment
Wonder why no one has mentioned lilypond so far.
Noteworthy composer has a free edition that I've used before. It was somewhat basic, but it gets the job done
I think xournal++ has a journal background to handwrite music
