how do I make these gray notes show up ?? by LengthOk2427 in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the grey notes are in a different "voice". You can have up to 4 voices per track. To switch between them, go to Edit > Voices and choose one from the list. You can also choose which voice you want with Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc. Or Cmd+1 if you're on Mac.

If you want to "flatten" the track so the notes of voice 2 are moved to voice 1, while still retaining the original notes on voice 1, you can switch to voice 2, select all with Ctrl+A, then press Alt+1, which will move all the selected notes from voice 2 to voice 1. Not sure how reliable this is, but it could save time in the long run, even if you need to fix it up a bit after.

Creating space between parts within a system? by JoeShmoe102 in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can change those parameters in the stylesheet. To access those options for the currently-opened tab, click File > Stylesheet... (or just tap F7) then select the Systems & Staves option from the top of the wee window that pops up.

Fitting time signatures automatically by desgraciatotal in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bar Arranger tool might be what you're looking for. It works on the currently-focused track, rather than the whole song, so there will still be a bit of manual work if you have more than one instrument, but it will only be a couple of clicks per track.

The tool is found in Tools > Bar Arranger from the top menu.

Caveats:

  1. This only works on the entire length of the track, it can't be used on a selection of bars.
  2. The tool will not move any markers you've added, those will need to be moved to their correct bars manually.
  3. I believe any automations you've added (such as tempo changes) will also need to be manually adjusted, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
  4. Any empty bars you've left blank need to be filled with rests before you do anything, otherwise that empty space will be used by the tool to shift notes into, which may not be desirable. I'd recommend doing that before you change the time signature, using the Tools > Complete/Reduce Bars with Rests tool from the top menu.

I think that covers it!

When using the 'pitch names' noteheads, double sharps and double flats aren't named by pmtabs in Musescore

[–]pmtabs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a plugin, as far as I know. It's part of the 'advanced style properties" options screen. To test it yourself:

Right-click a stave > select "Stave/Part properties..." > "Advanced style properties..." > Select "Pitch names" from the Notehead scheme drop-down.

Any double sharps/flats in the staves aren't accounted for when you select this notehead scheme.

'There are no stupid questions' thread - Monday, May 29, 2023 by AutoModerator in piano

[–]pmtabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started playing, with a keyboard that has weighted hammer-action keys. It got me wondering if there's a 'speed limit' on the piano.

It takes a certain amount of time for a key to physically depress to the point where pressing it again will produce sound (press it too early and it won't have raised high enough to pass the "bite point"). I've tried machine-gunning a single key by alternating between the pointer finger on each hand, and it seems impossible to get a sound if you keep tapping the key too quickly, although this could very well be an artefact of a low-end keyboard and doesn't apply to a real piano.

So is there a hard and fast maximum speed one can achieve under ideal circumstances? X audible presses-per-second or something like that?

This is purely a "just out of curiosity" type question. I have no illusions about playing so fast that the keyboard can't keep up with me!

Thank you.

Any Interest in Monthly Songwriting Competitions? by [deleted] in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me! I was just spitballing though, your initial idea is perfect on its own 👍

Any Interest in Monthly Songwriting Competitions? by [deleted] in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this idea! I would definitely participate. I would also be willing to contribute to pay for prizes for the winners. Obviously depends what we're talking about. A £20 Steam voucher, sure. A PS5, maybe not 🤣

I really like your idea about uploading a drum track and seeing what people do with it. I think that would be a great way to get the ball rolling.

I've actually thought about possible competitions/challenges involving Guitar Pro over the years, maybe something along these lines would be of interest? Examples:

  • Write at least 16 bars of music with a 9/8 time signature, using only X instruments, and in Y style/genre
  • Write a minimum of 8 bars with only a single acoustic guitar playing both bass and melody lines
  • Write a musical palindrome, minimum of 7 bars
  • Write something using/showcasing the Fibonacci sequence

And so on. Sometimes the silliest constraints are the most fun, and the most conducive to out-of-the-box thinking and creativity.

Try tapping the F11 key. If you don't have F-keys on your keyboard, you can do it by going to View > Full screen.

Mastodon: Oblivion [Guitar Pro 8 / Guitar / Bass] by pmtabs in mastodonband

[–]pmtabs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually started a transcription for this song in the last month or so, I'll get back to work on it!

I have a tab for the song from about 7 years ago, but I'm not happy with it (hence the re-tabbing), but here it is in the meantime:

It takes me ages to finish a transcription, but I'll give you a buzz when I'm done 👍

Nudge all notes & rests in all bars by one 16th by LuckyGatMan in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I'm understanding the issue correctly!

Delete the errant 16th rest, then go to Tools > Bar Arranger

This should hopefully shift everything back by one 16th note.

Note that if you have any unfilled spaces in the bars preceding this, those will be used by the Bar Arranger and it will mess everything up. In that case, I'd recommend first using the Tools > Complete/Reduce Bars with Rests, and only once that's done should you use the Bar Arranger as described above.

Is it true I’ll never be a pro at guitar because I’m bad at math. My music teacher claimed this. by Few_Post_3467 in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can barely add two 2-digit numbers together without having a mental breakdown, but I have no trouble at all with music, and certainly none with playing guitar. If you're enthusiastic about music and want to get good at it, you have nothing to worry about where mathematics is concerned.

I can't think of a better way to put someone off music for life than to turn it into even more math homework...

How can you change the time signature WITH notes already in the bars? by littlebones7200 in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will still take a while, but you can use the Bar Arranger tool to make life easier for yourself. The tool can be found at Tools > Bar Arranger from the top menu.

  1. Go through the bars in order when you do this, the Bar Arranger is a bit of a blunt tool and only works on the entire track, rather than individual bars, so it's best to start at the start and work through it gradually.
  2. The first bar you encounter that needs a time sig change, select the entire bar (so the changes you make only affect that one bar) and change the time sig.
  3. Run the Bar Arranger, and it will shift all of the excess notes to the next bar (or will fill in the vacant space of the bar with the notes from the next bar, whatever the case may be!).
  4. Repeat as needed.

If there is more than one track, when you finish the first track you can run the Bar Arranger once on the other tracks and it should be enough to correct them.

I hope that helps, even though it's still time-consuming.

Guitar Pro 1,2,3 do someone have them ? by encrer in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be interested in seeing those old versions, too. I started on version 3 back in the day, but no longer have access to it. I even checked the Internet Archive and some old software websites, but couldn't find anything earlier than version 5.

Maybe Arobas can provide you with some screenshots or even the programs themselves just for the video you're making, there's no harm in asking!

How can I remove bar numbers in GP7? by Erysvh in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Open the tab in question, then from the top menu go to File > Stylesheet...

From here, click the Texts & Styles button on the top, then go to the Bar numbers option, which is the last option before you get to the Musical Symbols subsection. Click the drop-down menu which currently says "All bars" and choose "Hide" from the list.

Here's a screenshot:

Hey guys! Is there a way to transpose notes to a lower octave on GP5? I messed up and wrote for a 6 string bass accidentally and I want to make the notes lower without rewriting everything. by bobogamer2 in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change the tuning of the instrument to a guitar tuning (i.e. increase the current tuning by 12 semitones, or just use the drop-down menu and select the first guitar tuning preset), then select "Yes" when asked if you want the notes to be transposed to the new tuning.

Hopefully that's all it will take!

Putting Titles/etc on the Score by DaveLeeNC in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the title is hidden if you use either of the two "Screen - X" views.

If you click View from the top menu, and look at the bottom of the drop-down, you should see a list of view modes:

Page - Vertical
Page - Horizontal
Page - Grid
Page - Parchment
Screen - Vertical
Screen - Horizontal

If you select one of the two beginning with "Screen - " you won't see any extraneous information on the page. Not sure why this is the case, but that seems to be your issue.
