Hi. Unfortunately, as you can see this repo has been abandoned about 3 and a half years ago. I don't know at all what was on that CD, but if you are looking for an executable version of TuxGuitar, the development and maintenance now takes place at github. The releases are available there

Gentlemen, a few years ago I purchased from you some Tuxguitar CDs. While using them under Windows 10, I did not encounter any issues/problems. After updating to Windows 11, I find that I cannot access the info on those CDs. Is there a fix to this issue....do the CDs have to be modified or whatever??????? Or are they simply no longer usable!!!!!! Thank you in advance for you reply and cooperation. Regards. Gerry Ste-Marie.

@MalcomC : please note that development and maintenance of TuxGuitar has moved to https://github.com/helge17/tuxguitar since 2023, last official release is currently 1.6.6. There is no way to enter three notes and then covert them to a triplet Next version introduces a new "free edition mode" that enables just this: select 3 notes, and make them a triplet by a single click. You can have a try with latest pre-release

MalcolmC — Sun, 15 Jun 2025 19:49:13 -0000

To remove triplets, put the cursor on the first note of the triplets and click the icon. This is what you can do if the triplets in a previous bar causes the next bar to default to triplets. To create triplets, I have found one way and one only that is reliable. Create just the first note of the triplet and follow it with a rest of the same length and then another note. That last bit is essential, since otherwise Tuxguitar assumes all rests following the note are to be made triplets. Then position...

Oh yes, I also imagine it should be "Angel" and not "Angle", definitely less poetic XD but it's no me the author of "geometric" horror. Thanks a lot anyway, I think I'll save the Guitar Pro files in TuxGuitar format if I want to work on lyrics. Thanks again and have a good day

guiv posted a comment on discussion Help

guiv — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 16:29:28 -0000

OK, I looked at the example file. From what I understand, the .gp3 format (quite old) does not handle tracks with lyrics. There is some textual information coded in the file, but attached to specific beats. See measure 6: first beat of first track has a textual attribute "Angle came down from" (should have been "Angel" I guess!). So, for the example you mentioned above it seems the limitation comes from the .gp3 format, and TuxGuitar's behavior seems normal to me... Do you also have the same problem...

Hi I updated to version 1.6.0 last week, from version 1.5.6, but the problem persists. On guitar pro files (any version) saving the lyrics sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't, while the .tg format doesn't cause problems. They are files that I downloaded from gtptabs.com. For instance, the file linked below doesn't allow me to save the lyrics. http://gtptabs.com/tabs/8/hendrix-jimi/angel.html

I mean: do you have a file for which this issue can be systematically reproduced (or at least often)? If so, could you provide such a file so I can investigate?

It took me some time but I finally found a way: 1) create a 1/4 measure bar 2) divide the measure in 2 eighteenth 3) select the first eighteenth 4) add the triplet 5) this adds 1/4: [8 8 8]. Then it's super easy to create your bar, even if with this workaround you divide the single bar in multiple ones... It kinda sucks having to do all of this, I'm used to MuseScore, where you can just press Ctrl+3 and the selected note is divided in a triplet of the same overall duration.

TuxGuitar itself does not require any account, it's a standalone app running on your machine. You can use it to create tabs, edit, import, export, .... An updated version is available there: https://github.com/helge17/tuxguitar/releases. Then if you want to export them to songsterr you need a songsterr account, but it's completely independent from TuxGuitar.

Globally it seems all maintenance/development activities are discontinued here in SF since quite a while.

After having a look in the code, in fact there is already a way to do this, but it's definitely more a hack than a real solution. You can overwrite file tuxguitar_installation_path/share/templates/template-default.tg with a file containing 1 empty track with your bass, and it will open a copy of this file each time you launch TuxGuitar. Also when closing the last opened song, or with menu File/New. But not with 'Ctrl-N' shortcut. Note that it will impact all users on the machine. I'm currently working...

It might be linked to this keyboard issue: digits typed with a combination or keys are not interpreted as digits by TuxGuitar (I tested with 1.5.6). E.g. on an AZERTY keyboard, typing "1" on first row of keys is interpreted by TuxGuitar as "shift+&" which is different from "1" typed with the numpad.

I think at this point the two projects are so different that we just need to pick one and move on, so I guess I'll join you with backporting features from v2.0 to 1.x. v2.0 has a better git history to work with, so I guess it makes sense. @guiv I've been trying to use git bisect to find the working version with note selection, so I can help. I struggled with compiling, because there's different versions of SWT and Java used. Because of this, I've wrote a little script and guide to help us with compiling...

Thank you Simon for these details. Whatever we do, we can only succeed if the community follows. 1.x seems to me a smoother path for a transition, easier to follow for most users. These days new users are logging in 1.x branch, filing issues and feature requests. So, I suggest we try to take benefit from this momentum, and start to address these users' requests. Some of them can be addressed by backporting 2.0 features. Note: currently looking at the awesome "click & drag select" feature, from comments...

Thanks a lot for the patch! I have added it to my repository at https://github.com/helge17/tuxguitar. TuxGuitar handles repeats and endings a little differently than Guitar Pro, so it may be necessary to manually change the notation to get the intended behavior, but this is not due to the patch itself.

Yes, the commits without any comments in 1.x git log all say they're akdmia's. See below for the version history and commits. I was looking through the git log manually for any changes to TGVersion.java, then I found this really useful git command to just show me all the git commits and the changes to that file. git log --follow -p -- TuxGuitar-lib/src/org/herac/tuxguitar/util/TGVersion.java Note: v1.x and 2.0 last shared commit was on Mar 24 2019. For the v1.x fork Dates the version changed: v1.5.6...

Thank you Simon for this detailed analysis of the history. Just 2 questions: - do the commits with no comment in 1.x correspond to akdmia's commits? - do you know where the 1.5.6 release is in these 2 branches?

I think I'm a bit torn between the versions. Personally, I'd vote for v2.0, because I can see the improvements, both in the GUI and from the git commits. 1.x has some missing git comments :(. That being said, the midi playback didn't work on 2.0 for me(ubuntu), but does in 1.x. I compiled both from the helge17 forks. I'm not too sure how hard it would be to backport the changes from 2.0, because there has been a lot of work on it(see below). I do however like the idea of TuxGuitar working on android,...

I guess it was the original motivation for this post: re-establish contact with Julian, yet without success. This is also a reason why I preferred to contribute to the "1.x" fork: as mentioned by Helmar, should Julian resume his work on TG one day, then it would be a lot easier to backport modifications implemented in direct continuity with 1.5.6.

The last SWT version with 32-bit support was 4.9 from 2018 (https://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/). Many Linux distributions have completely discontinued 32-bit support or have dropped the 32-bit SWT version. In practice, it would still be possible to provide 32-bit binaries, but to save resources for more important things, I decided to remove 32-bit support. However, since we are trying to keep the file format of our new version compatible with 1.5.6, you can continue to use Julian's...

why remove 32bit? too hard to build for with new features? should keep em, i have old machines that i use in the jam room for this kinda thing. not to say it's a popular option but i'd keep as much compatibility as we can... if we can

Hello all. Nice to see the TuxGuitar community still lives! Todo List so far: Vote on a TuxGuitar version to fork. I tried to understand the story behind this "2.0beta thing": helge17 repo is a fork of pterodactylus42 repo, which forked pcarmona79 repo, where it is stated "This repository was uploaded from a copy of the deleted https://github.com/cyclopsian/tuxguitar" A bit difficult to establish the link with the historical branch here in SF. The last reference I found is here, and it's almost 4...

Hello Simon, glad to hear you are willing to contribute! As you can see from the discussion above, I "voted" for the 1.x version and created a new repository at https://github.com/helge17/tuxguitar. I also try to integrate patches from the 2.0beta version (https://github.com/helge17/tuxguitar-2.0beta). Under "Releases" you can find binary packages for both versions. You can also start discussions and open issues for bugs or TODOs. 2.0beta has a lot of GUI improvements, you might want to have a look...

Hello, I'd like to help out with this a little as well :). I love TuxGuitar, but it's become a bit of a nuisance to keep up with where to grab the 'most recent version' from, because of the split in development. The way I use TuxGuitar is to learn a song and to play along with it at increasing speeds. Every time I use it, it feels clunky to practice a small section of a song, and I think "I should just write the code for this". I'd like to work on being able to select a section, set a loop, and easily...

Same problem also, azerty keyboard, linux, version rebuilt from source. It seems clearly linked to the keyboard. I changed settings manually, tried to associate "0" key to "fret 0", and when typing the key it displays "shift+à" instead of "0" From source code: in the swt version, key events are identified by a UIKeyCombination object = a list of keys. So, two different key combinations corresponding to the same character are considered different events. Edit: issue is also present in the jfx version....
