I used Guitar Pro 7 and now 8. I absolutely love this program. It has made analyzing, transcribing, and even transposing pieces so much easier. There is definitely a learning curve. That's not a criticism of Guitar Pro, either. The application is so robust, and has so many features that you can do just about anything. Any time you have that much control at your fingertips there will be a learning curve. That is far better than having no real options or control.

0:14 Keep in mind that adding an audio track (while a great thing) might conflict with #9 (05:22) of using repeat signs. For example, if the audio track was recorded from a live performance, not recorded with a click track, the musician will most likely have slight variations in the tempo of their playing when repeating sections of the song. This means the notes in that repeated section can be synced perfectly the first time through, but on subsequent repeats the score and the audio track will almost certainly get out of sync. For this reason, I often remove the repeat symbols and write the score out to its full length without repeating within the score. Yes, this makes the overall length of the score longer, but it's the only way to assure the score stays in sync with the audio track for the full duration of the song.

Until I figured this out, it was driving me crazy. I'd often sync the first time through a repeated section, but it would be out of sync of the second (or third) time through the repeat. If I'd then sync the second time through, I would "break" the synchronization that I had done on the first time through that section. I finally figured out I could not use repeated sections in the score unless the audio track was played by the musician at a perfectly matched tempo on each pass of any repeated section. Again, the solution was to live with a "longer score" and simply not repeat any sections within the score... write out the score as one continuous event, just like the audio track is one continuous event. You're welcome. 😋

An oddity with GP8 in windows is that when playing through USB audio, there is a loss of the first note after a rest. So, if a score has a quarter note rest, the 1st 16th note of a phrase will not play. You can take the same score, play it through musescore, and there will be no loss of the note. There is also no loss if played through Realtek at the headphone jack. Since the loss only occurs with GP8 using usb audio, and not musescore using usb audio, the problem has to be with GP8. If another track is ran concurrently and a single full note muted on the audio track, the loss does not occur.

Guitar pro is a really great program, I've written three textbooks in it and I'm preparing for another. All these tips will come in handy! I recommend it to everyone!

Hi, please help me to find the PAGE BREAK (if i want to have on one page 4 lines, on the other 8 lines). how can i do it? thank you

[AlinFlorida]

Thanks for these tips! I'm brand new to Guitar Pro and this really helps- a lot!!

[DebbieBarrette]

Thanks for your video. Is there a way to change the direction of the slur in the score (not tab)? I need the slur to show from above instead of below because it is clashing with the notes and unclear to read. I've looked everywhere in the stylesheet and can't find anything. It's driving me crazy. Thanks!

[BartekL]

Thanks. Is there a trick to copy-paste the treble and bass clef staffs in one go? Without merging them first?

[ThinkMusical]

Suggestion :
In next update can you add a function via which rhythm proportion affects while in multitrack view as well .
Currently Rhythm proportion option only works when you are viewing a single track. In multi track view it stops working.

9:44 - I'm unable to do this in GP8. How do you bulk change a certain chord in a score?

Hi, I have a bass score where most of the fingering go from the first fret to the 7th fret. How can I make Guitar Pro 8 to move the tab fingering to a higher location on the fretboard, without changing the standard notation? . Thanks

Does anyone know how to synchronize a song in GP8 if there is a change in BPM? In Maneskin - Beggin the song starts very slow (I think it was 50) and then goes up to 134bpm. Even though in the tabs I change the backing track stays at 50bpm for the whole song 😓

Thanks for the video. One question-how do i change the "f" note the from the e string to the b string. I have read through the user guide and found everything but that. Thanks in advance.

[RafaelSequera]

Cant believe there is not a simple way of adding multiple bars... Amazing...

[funnyharleyman]

Can you add lyrics above the tablature?

[OTCRockone]

David, I have Guitar Pro 8, I want to keep the tuning of the tablature but change the fingering (only) to Eb because my guitar is tuned to Eb?

[guidlines]

If I have 2 tracks, say Guitar & Bass. The Guitar starts at Bar 1 & the Bass at Bar 4. How do I show on the Bass track, the first 3 bars as 1 bar like this |---3---| ? I have seen this in tablature books & on websites. Is it possible in Guitar Pro 8?
