Guitar Pro is a multitrack editor of guitar and bass tablature and musical scores, possessing a built-in MIDI-editor, a plotter of chords, a player, a metronome and other tools for musicians. It has versions for Windows and Mac OS X (Intel processors only) and is written by the French company Arobas Music.
The software makes use of multiple instrument tracks which follow standard staff notation, but also shows the notes on tablature notation.[1] It gives the musician visual access to keys (banjos, drumkits, etc.) for the song to be composed, and allows live previews of the notes to be played at a specified tempo. It allows for certain tracks to be muted and provides dynamic control over the volume, phasing and other aspects of each track. Included in version 4 onwards is a virtual keyboard that allows pianists to add their part to a composition.

Guitar Pro outputs sound by means of a library and/or, as of version 5, the ".mw-parser-output .vanchor>:target.vanchor-textbackground-color:#b1d2ffRealistic Sound Engine" (RSE) which uses high quality recorded samples for a more realistic playback.[2] By using its live preview feature musicians may play along with the song, following the tablature played in real time.
The distribution of these files was widely carried out on the Internet, being produced by fans often by ear, and included songs both of underground and mainstream artists. The main hub for Guitar Pro tabs was (and still is) the Arobas-owned mySongBook. However, the Music Publishers Association (MPA), claiming to represent sheet music companies, raised copyright issues and pressured websites offering the files to cease distribution. This included then-president Lauren Keiser threatening jail time for those involved.[3] Subsequently, distribution became much more dispersed, and mySongBook itself was forced to follow much stricter practices.
