How to convert guitar tablature to music notes

• Sep 23, 2015 - 22:48

Hi, Gang!!!

Is there an easy way (I mean: one command, one button) to convert an standard guitar tablature to musical notes?

Even the fact I'm not a guitarist, it is a fact that there is a plenty of melodies written like guitar tablature in the web.

Of course, we can to translate it on music notes, by hand, but... There is something called: "Lazy... ness"

So... Is there a way to get it? ???

Greetings & Blessings!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot for your help, but I think I expressed my idea in a wrong way.

I wasn't talking about the MuseScore tablature staves (and files).

I was talking about the plenty of text style tablatures we can find on Internet. It is just a text file (like any Word Processor file) format.

I'm uploading a visual sample of those files.

How get that MuseScore reads and understands those text files and converts it into a useful musical notes? ???

That's my point.

There are players for ASCII TABs around. When they produce sound they obviously know already what every tone is and thus can send/export it into a MIDI file as well as they to by sending the recognized tone to an audio system or speaker.

Good luck,
