[New free updade] Guitar Pro 8.1 is available!

I would love the option to add background colours to the notation page and have different colours within one track in global view. That would improve, atleast my personal workflow while arranging parts.

1.It would be nice if the drum parts could be combined freely, for example: kick (606) but snare is (fab) Hihat (909)… It is expected that drum parts can be selected in the current drum mix panel.
2. When an F note is bent to G, and then released to the next note F, the marks are always not aligned.
3. In Guitar Pro 5, importing midi files was okay, but after 6 it was a mess. and edit the music score by yourself. When bending strings or portamento, using midi timbre, the pitch is not accurate. Isn’t midi supposed to be interoperable? It wasn’t very good at 5, but it’s really better than now.
4. When editing standard music scores, if I use the direction keys to select the note C5 and press the number 4, Guitar Pro will automatically recognize the 10-grid as the 4th string. . This logic is very good. Hope it continues!
5. In edit mode, the position of the grace note cannot be moved, but I hope it can be moved.
6. The grace note of jian pu is too big and cannot be adjusted.
7. The horizontal lines of the notes in standard musical notation, that is, eighth notes and 16th notes, are too large and cannot be adjusted.
8.jian pu cannot display string bending.

– Flexible metronome accent
– Mix different types notation on one track (bar 1-4 slash, 5-6 tab, 7-10 notation, for example)
– Add images to scores
– More options for chord and scales diagrams
– Templates to guitar exams/lessons
– Possibility of adding an auxiliary measure, within a rectangle, that does not sound in the playback, but appears in the score
– More Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Toto, Brad Paisley and Bryan Adams Tabs

Any plans to update the mobile app?

On iPad we are still stuck with tab playback at 50, 60, 70 percent rather than finer granularity for practise (which I’m used to from the desktop version)

Also at 50% and below playback is garbled and unusable.

Hi Thomas, we are woring on improving the mobile app indeed. 😉

I just upgraded to GP v. 8 but am unable to download my songs in MIDI format. When I select the Export option, “MIDI” is not highlighted and in unavailable. Am I doing something wrong?

SVG is cool, now it would be awesome if we could export as videos: MP4, etc. I like to screen-record the tabs video, import it into a DAW (Reaper), and then sync it to the original song, and then play along with that.

But screen-recording takes time. An export could make it happen in just 10 seconds.

Hi Thomas, how can I maintain bar widths moving from Page to Screen view? In Page view everything looks perfect but in Screen view the bars are all different widths so the lyrics overlap in a jumbled mess. I’ve tried choosing fixed bar counts in the system layout but it has no effect on Screen view. Alternatively, is there a way to change the Page – Horizontal view so the entire arrangement is on one line? I’m trying to video capture the playback mode. Thanks for any tips!

Do you already have a double monitor view? Maybe to maximize notes readability on one screen and having other controls on the other screen?
Thanks

Great work with Fix the cursor… in other versions there was a cursor tracking button, now this is not available. It is needed to be able to block or continue with the cursor. Another thing that is needed (and would help productivity) is to have a SYNC with time effects such as delay, reverbs and modulation rate and to be able to select the rhythmic figures to repeat or the modulation cycles. It would also be nice in the drum kit, to be able to PAN the percussion instruments (bongos, congas, woodblock…) It would also be interesting to be able to manage the folders of families and effects instruments to be able to organize them. There is another visual error, there are times that the numbers of the effects panel parameters “get stuck” on the screen, when it is closed, covering other displays, to remove it you have to open and go to the specific pedal and parameter and modify it again. Another thing that doesn’t work is the Wham’ Mix. As the Autowah does not modulate the tone automatically either. It would also be nice to add a noise gate. And Categorize the LIMITER EXPANDER.

I really like the new editing features in GP 8 but the is no ability to compress grace notes. The default distance between the grace note and the primary note is much too large ,so without increasing the size of the bar grace notes overlap other notes and become out of position. It makes for a very messy score. Since it is now possible to reposition any other note within a bar you should also be able to reposition a grace note. A very least the default distance between the grace note and the primary note should be at least 50% less. This should be an easy fix. Thanks!

Include an option to disabled numbered tied notes like how Guitar Pro originally did it. This makes for cleaner scores.

Hi,

there are two features i think that would improve GP a lot:

1. Exported Midi at the moment does not contain any of the strumming information made in the TAB. Like in some open source programs the midi data exported from GP should have kind of an arpeggiated effect so that a strum is simulated.
2. When i change a chord in the Chord Window the name in the TAB does change but not the chord structure itself (meaning the fingering stays the same) and i have to delete the chord in the TAB an insert a new one. Instead the fingering in the TAB should react directly to the changes made in the Chord Window.

I am pretty sure that a lot of other users would appreciate this.

Best regards

Hi,
1) tuning diagram visible/invisible per track (I can select whether showing the diagram or not, on a specific track)
2) select specific multirest bars, instead of global
3) insert text non committed to the notes (I can put a label on a riff, es: “Rhy. Fig. 1”, and then reuse that label to indicate the same part to play es. “Repeat Rhy. Fig. 1”, instead of rewrite the same notes or using repetition bars)
4) notehead size (I can choose the size of notehead and tab in a multivoice part es: harmonized melody)

Could you please add a pedal track to the church organ? Right now, I can’t figure out a way to put the notes that should be played on the pipe organ pedals because the organ track only consists of the manuals (keyboards) for the organ.

Thanks!

I’d like 2 features.

1 – metronome. No accent on the first beat. I want the metronome to be consistant. Lets say I have 7/8 and 8/8 I dont want the metronome to play a hard hit on the first click on the 8/8.

2 – make it easy to import a GP project to cubase

Hi, thanks a lot for your great suggestions. I have sent them to the team.
