I don't know about you guys but there's just some things about Guitar Pro that I don't like. There's tons of bugs that come with it as I'm sure you've noticed, and the whole interface is just kind of confusing and bloated. I was wondering if anyone else feels that way.
My friend is an amateur software developer and wants ideas for programs to create that he can sell. I told him he should make a tablature editing program that corrects all of Guitar Pro's shortcomings. I think Guitar Pro isn't worth it's price tag. It's buggy, bloated and expensive. I told him he should make a tab program that's simple, stable and affordable. Do you think you'd buy a program like that if it was available for say 20 dollars? It'd be like a simplified version of guitar pro, with just the essential features. I think all the crazy features Guitar Pro has are largely unnecessary and contribute to the bugginess of the program.
What do you think? I'm trying to get a gauge for the demand of this type of program.

I've tried Power Tab and the trial of Guitar Pro. I didn't really get to use GP enough to really get to know it, but Power Tab, as good and free as it is, could be improved on. For one thing, when you import a midi, I'd like to be able to listen to a sample of each of the instrumental pieces before you load it into the document. It gets old having to reload the midi when you can't find one "accoustic string" you want out of five. But that's really just a personal gripe. I mean it does what it's supposed to...

I used to use Powertabs, but it felt a bit limited. Then, I tried out Guitar Pro, and its the only Tab program I've been using ever since, because, unlike what many people have said in this forum, it's a really good program because if a tab isn't written well, I can always shift notes around and transpose and such. Also, unlike Powertabs, it has percussion too and it's better at creating MIDI tabs than Powertabs. GP also reads Powertabs, so its two programs in one.
However, if you don't have the money for Guitar Pro and you don't feel like getting it pirated and want to read GP files (lot more of those than there are Powertabs), then try using Tuxguitar, just search it up. it reads GP files fine.

Guitar Pro 5 is really bloated with shit I don't use and some of it is really annoying, but the pluses outweigh the minuses. It's a good tabulature program, just not one I would pay $40 for. Hell, I'd probably pay $5 for it at max.
