No Guitar Tabs when converting from GP3 to PDF via mscore command line
Hello,
I'm trying to convert my gp3 files into pdf form with just the command line. So only using the command line for the conversion process is a requirement. Currently, I'm using musescore 4 to do that, but every time I convert the files, the guitar tabs below the notes get lost. When I open the gp3 file with tuxguitar or guitarpro, the guitar tablatures are present. Is there a possibility to use musescore only in the command line to convert the gp3 file into a pdf with the guitar tabs?
Thanks,
Kai

First of all: I have no experience with gpt3 files, not even with guitars.
But if you get the correct guitar notes in MuseScore, just add a linked guitar tab in the instrument menu!

Alright, but is it possible to do everything through the command line?

Perhaps you can do this using a plugin. Plugins can be started via command line.
But I think no such special plugin exists. You must write it by yourself.

Okay thanks. That's unfortunate :(.

I may be missing something. But did you know that MuseScore opens Guitar Pro files? From there, you can export these files in PDF format (menu File -> Export)
What I've noticed : Version 4 ( 4.1.1) displays the main score (and only it) in standard notation.
On the other hand, Version 3 (3.6.2) displays the main score in standard notation AND the parts (which are already present when opening the score) in standard notation + linked tablature. See example below:
EDIT: also, why not use Guitar Pro?

Thanks. I'll try musescore 3 then. I am not using guitarpro because there is no possibility to use batch conversion (from gp3 -> pdf) and I can't convert the files through cmd commands.

Ok, so this plugin (works for Version 3, not Version 4 yet, or partly) could be useful? https://musescore.org/en/project/batch-convert

Thanks. On Mac (M2), this plugin does not work, but I will try again on a Windows PC.

This is really strange. I installed 3.6.2 now on Mac (M2, I hope the processor type is not the problem...) and when I open a gp3 or gp5 file, the tablature gets missing again. Opening it on guitarpro or tuxguitars works though...

Please attach one (or more) gp3 or gp5 file. If necessary: https://musescore.org/en/node/289899

Here you go.

Your processor is certainly not to blame.
As said, the Tabs are displayed in the PARTS.

Thank you very much :) Kind of overlooked it. So musescore is able to render the tabs out of the gp file just fine. But do you know how I can use the command line for also rendering the tracks (e.g. Track 1 like it's in concerning hobbits.gp5)? Because I really need to use the command line for doing that.

I don't know sorry. Never need to use this.

Ok, by using MuseScore 3 and using --export-score-parts in the command line, you are able to also render the guitar tabs. Thanks. Problem solved.
