Built around the instrument

A browser tab editor designed for repeated cleanup

Editing a full tab involves the same actions many times: selecting notes, moving them, changing duration, splitting sections, copying bars, and checking playback. Keyboard shortcuts reduce the distance between hearing a problem and correcting it.

Note2Tabs also keeps guitar-specific expression in the editing workflow. Add or refine 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

Useful after AI transcription and for tabs written by hand

AI-generated tabs usually need a guitarist to confirm rhythm, fret choices, phrase boundaries, and expressive techniques. The same tools also support a tab written from scratch, so you do not need separate editors for generation and cleanup.

  • 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.
