Comments about TuxGuitar as an Alternative to Guitar Pro
TuxGuitar is to Guitar Pro as WordPad is to Word. It's not quite the same, but it's got all of the essential features, is open source, and is free.
It's free and easy to use. The Best alternative to Guitar Pro.
It is a fantastic light-weight tab maker. The interface can be one-handed once you get familiar. But I think it's no longer supported or updated (as of 2019). Boo!
