Once again, I seek advice... The last Guitar Pro thread on this forum was in 2012. The reviews then were very positive. I am looking for a way to publish tabs in a high quality format. I need to include notations like left and right hand fingerings, downward and upward strums, barres, etc. Does Guitar Pro do these things? How does the final product look?
Hoping to save $40, I bought Tabular for my Mac. It works, but lacks any bells or whistles. You can't add a pickup measure at the beginning of the song, for example. Also, there is a way to add in fingerings but they don't always line up with the notes. Tabular would be a good option for someone on a budget, but I would like to self publish a tab book, so I need a higher quality finished product. I looked at Lilypond, which creates a nice page of music (Wilfried Welti's tab books look great and were created in Lilypond) but I think I lack the programming skill to master it.
So I am eager to get some Guitar Pro input. I promise I will post some uke arrangements on UU!
