Tablature and Standard Notation:

Primarily designed for tablatures, Guitar Pro allows you to switch to standard notation for viewing or editing scores. The two notation systems are bound, and a note entered in one system is automatically added in the other one. The rhythmics are automatically calculated and displayed by Guitar Pro. You just have to enter the note duration and let Guitar Pro do the work!
