Wha? GP7 never has a light mode.

However, white score on a dark background would strain my eyes, I imagine.

Make sure you have the latest version of ASIO4ALL if you want, but ASIO in general doesn't like executing in more than one program and disables the standard audio device, so I would recommend trying with FLEXasio or asiomulti.

I don't think I've seen anything like this. You could draw the guitar tab to force it into the correct fret positions which will still give you the same staff notes, but I always thought drawing the staff would give you arbitrary best guess tab notes and haven't seen any other way to do it or influence that.

Although, now looking at the interface, I guess the "BV" ("Barre...") is close to what you might be looking for. I think that denotes fret position for barre chords on the staff, but it doesn't have a span of length like you have drawn. It only shows up at the note you insert it on. Also, it get's rendered as a Roman numeral, not a number.

This forum has suggested Guitar Pro's BV should have length.

Musescore does this, importing from scans. You might need to fiddle with the files to get them to import to GP cleanly but it's worth a shot.

This thread on the musescore forums also lists a few programs that do this. Worth checking out.

That is Songsterr. The audio is Songsterr's synthesizers.

Most likely, the tab was made using Guitar Pro and then uploaded.

So far there isn't a great option for auto tabbing.

Here's some great examples and comparisons

I faced a similar issue got things done on my system and now everything works. I wrote a little Howto here:

I hope this will solve the issue for you

Guitar Pro 7 is the best possible tool for writing guitar music. It's designed for working with the tab staff, and excels at that method. I use it nearly every day.

It's a very poor tool, however, for working with music notation. You can do it, you can work with and edit notes and chords. But it's an excercise in frustration. Download Musescore for that kind of work. The software is free and fantastic. It's also worthwhile to join just for the incredibly library of available music.

I wholly agree. If I'm working with guitar music, there is no better tool that GP7. But it's awful for anything else. You should take a long, hard look at Musescore. It's the best tool I've found by far for working with sheet music (aside from guitar music). And I have owned Finale, Sibelius, and Encore in the past. And it's free. Also, the subscription they offer to their sheet music library -- all downloadable in mutiple formats -- is well worth the cheap price they charge for it.

For what it's worth, MuseScore is free, and is significantly better than GuitarPro for working with non-guitar scores. I have both, and I love GP when I'm composing (or transcribing) for guitar. But the shine comes off when I try to use it like you are. Musescore is like a word processor for music.
