Changes to TAB are reflected in notation and vice versa. To enter TAB or Musical Score begin by adding a Track (Track>Add).
The main window consists of a series of toolbars at the top of the screen (you can float toolbars with the Mac version), musical notation in the central portion of the window, and a mix table and measure navigation at the bottom. You can also adjust track equalization or song lyrics in the Score Information panel, but you'll probably want to wait until you've entered music for such fine tuning. Some of fields are displayed as you work on the music, and some can be printed out on your sheet music. You can enter Artist, Title, Album, Copyright, Instructions, and more. Think of Score Information as the properties of the song, similar to the properties of a document in a word processor. When you enter a New Song, the Score Information panel appears. Guitar Pro 5 calls this Score Information. In Guitar Pro, before you can enter Musical Score, you must first enter information describing the new song. A track can represent a guitar (bass, 6-string, 12-string, more), other stringed instruments (such as banjo, cello), drums, piano, sax, trumpet, and many others. The stave(s) for an instrument is known as a track. In Guitar Pro each instrument is represented by one or more staves (a stave is the same as a staff: a set of five lines and four spaces). Each instrument is represented with a set of staves (lines separated into measures). It can include notes, volume, speed (tempo) and other instructions for a variety of instruments. I also recommend you visit the Guitar Pro Support Page, and check out the FAQ's. I recommend that you learn by experimenting and scanning the User Guide as you go, rather than trying to read it front to back. Some instructions still need further explanation. In fact, the Mac guide was originally no more than a copy of the Windows guide, and over time was updated in bits and pieces. The learning curve on Guitar Pro 5 is steep, and like most complex programs the developers clearly spent more time on the program than the User Guide. You can even tune your guitar if you want to! Add all this together and Guitar Pro puts a complete music toolbox at your fingertips that can both assist and consume you!
You can easily switch between TAB and score, or display both at once, so you can learn score from TAB, or TAB from score.
If you know how to enter musical score, use it as a score editor. If you're comfortable with TAB, use it as a TAB editor.
I describe it as musical notation software built with a guitarist mind. The Guitar Pro 5 documentation describes the program as "the ultimate workbench" for the guitarist, "aimed at helping the user progress, compose, or simply accompany himself on guitar." The Windows version should be mostly the same. Below are my impressions of the Mac version. Should you spend your hard earned money for it? I did.
