03

Edit without breaking flow

Use shortcuts and guitar-specific controls to shape timing, techniques, and layout.

Built around the instrument

A browser tab editor designed for creative flow

Creating a full tab involves the same actions many times: selecting notes, moving them, changing duration, splitting sections, copying bars, and checking playback. Keyboard shortcuts keep those actions close while you write and arrange.

Note2Tabs also keeps guitar-specific expression in the creative workflow. Add bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, chord shapes, timing, and fret positions instead of flattening the music into plain numbers.

01

Fast note editing

Use keyboard-driven actions for common selection, movement, timing, and playback tasks.

02

Guitar techniques

Represent bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, chords, and strumming details.

03

Section and bar tools

Cut, copy, reorder, and scale material while keeping the song organized.

01

Equally capable from a blank tab, an imported file, or audio

The editor is a complete product for writing tabs from scratch, building arrangements, importing existing work, and practising finished parts. Note2Tabs transcriptions open in that same workspace, giving you a fast optional starting point without limiting what the editor can do.

  • Undo and redo
  • Copy and paste bars
  • Timing and duration changes
  • Grid and key snapping
  • Playback controls
02

Edit musical techniques instead of adding them as plain text

Bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides affect both how a phrase is read and how it sounds. Keeping these techniques attached to editable note events makes the tab easier to revise and practice later.
