TuxGuitar als Linux-Alternative zu Guitar Pro
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
TuxGuitar is a solid replacement for Guitar Pro if you need basic tablature and score editing on Linux. It handles most common tasks like creating and editing guitar and bass tabs, displaying standard notation, generating chord diagrams, and playing back multi-track arrangements. The interface is functional but dated, and while it lacks some advanced features and polish, it’s stable and free. It’s best suited for hobbyists, students, or musicians on a budget who don’t rely on advanced notation or audio rendering. Professionals may find it limiting.

Was anders ist
- No native support for Guitar Pro's newer gp6 or gpx formats beyond basic import

Ihre Guitar Pro-Dateien öffnen
TuxGuitar can open most Guitar Pro files, including gp3, gp4, gp5, and gpx formats. It supports importing PowerTab and TablEdit files as well. Export is limited to gp3, gp4, and gp5—so you can't save in .gpx or newer .gp formats. PDF, MIDI, and audio export work reliably. Compatibility is generally good for standard tabs, but complex scores with custom formatting or effects may not render perfectly.
