Built around the instrument
Move tab data into and out of the editor without retyping it
Import is available for ASCII tab (.txt, .tab, .asc), MusicXML (.musicxml, .xml), MIDI (.mid, .midi), and common Guitar Pro formats (.gp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, .gpx, .gtp). The importer preserves usable tracks and note events so you can continue from an existing arrangement.
When the tab is ready, export the active track as readable ASCII TXT, interoperable MusicXML, MIDI, or a Note2Tabs JSON project file. Format support differs between import and export, so the original file is never silently presented as a format the editor cannot produce.
Common tab formats
Start from ASCII, MusicXML, MIDI, or supported Guitar Pro files.
Multi-track import
Bring compatible tracks into one project and choose what to keep or edit.
Four export choices
Download TXT, MusicXML, MIDI, or Note2Tabs JSON from the editor.
01
Supported import formats
The browser importer reads ASCII text tab, standard or compressed MusicXML, MIDI, and common Guitar Pro files. PowerTab, TablEdit, and TuxGuitar extensions are recognized, but currently need conversion to Guitar Pro, MusicXML, MIDI, or ASCII before their musical contents can be imported.
- .txt, .tab, .asc
- .musicxml, .xml
- .mid, .midi
- .gp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, .gpx, .gtp
02
Export formats and interoperability
Use TXT when you need portable text tablature, MusicXML when moving the score to notation software, MIDI when another music tool needs note events, and Note2Tabs JSON when preserving editor-specific project data.
Good to know
Questions before you start.
Open the editor in guest mode, then sign in only when you want to save your work.
Can I open Guitar Pro files online?
Note2Tabs can import .gp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, .gpx, and .gtp files for editing in the browser.
Can I import ASCII guitar tabs?
Yes. Plain-text .txt, .tab, and .asc guitar tablature files are supported within the documented file limits.
Which formats can Note2Tabs export?
The editor exports TXT, MusicXML, MIDI, and Note2Tabs JSON. It does not currently export a native Guitar Pro file.
