Tab/Sheet Software?

Gear

Chordify is where I get my chord charts so I can create my basslines.

This thread might be helpful as an option as well.

I just spent an hour trying to find out if these will produce sheet and.or TAB to save or output to a printer.
There was no mention of such a function that I could find in either.

Here is a link to a review that @JoshFossgreen did for Transcribe.

Remember Transcribe+ and Transcribe are two different programs.

@PamPurrs can you tell us if Chordify or Transcribe can produce sheet/TAB music.

Oh right, I mixed those up. Thanks for the correction!

Chordify is a repository of chord charts. It doesn’t produce anything. Transcribe! Is a software used for transcribing songs. It also doesn’t produce anything.
There’s another product called transcribe that does something else, but I’m not sure what. I think @John_E has talked about it.

Did you mean Transcribe+ in this sentence? :slightly_smiling_face:

I have done this in Musescore…it’s really easy and as others have said, free software

This is a bit dry, but you can see the options MuseScore Tutorial - How to Write Guitar Tablature in MuseScore - YouTube

That you can use to take out the bass lines, like Moises and all the others.

I work the other way round by entering the music and having it generate the TAB. That video is very informative about entering TAB and having it create the actual sheet music.

Looks like another + for Musescore.

Thank you for posting this information :+1: :+1: :+1:

You lost me.
What are you saying exactly :thinking:

32

Transcribe+ is used for removing bass lines from tracks.

This is getting really interesting. Are there any software that I could use to transcribe to notation and tab via playing thru the 13 pins midi from the Roland GR 55? Thanks

I usually create tabs how i think i’ll play them and then not actually play them that way :joy:

I don’t get this, “create tab” concept. Seriously, I just can’t wrap my head around this. If you see a note on the page, just play it. Why do you have to write down which fret and string it’s on? This really has me scratching my head.

You can’t understand why someone would want to create tablature?

I guess one reason would be to provide it to a far larger audience than sheet music would reach.

I use tabs in combination with standard notation. I think visually in terms in shapes on the fretboard so on bass and guitar it makes more sense to me to use tabs much of the time. It’s cutting out a step that I don’t have to think about.
