GuitarTeX is a tool for guitarists who want to print good looking and easy to play song sheets or song books from their chord or chordpro files. It uses the well known chord format with several extensions. The program was developed on a Linux system, but it should run on any other Unix system which has a Perl/TK environment.
It is based upon an idea of Martin Leclerc and Mario Dorion from Canada and their program Chord (Version 3.5 from 1993). To use GuitarTeX, you need to have knowledge of the Chord program (explained later). Though the LaTeX text processing system is used by GuitarTeX, you dont have to know very much about it. GuitarTeX produces Postscript or PDF output automatically (if you want). The Chord directives supplied by GuitarTeX are described in Chapter 5.
Main features:
- Graphical user interface with integrated editor and syntax highlighting
- Prints good looking song sheets including guitar chords without using monospace fonts
- Output formats: LaTeX, Postscript and PDF
- Compatible with ChordPro format, import function for ascii format
- Support for music typesetting with the LaTeX packages MusixTeX, MusixLyr and TabDefs
- Flexible page layout (paper size, margins...)
- User defined colors for different parts of a song (e.g. verse, chorus)
- Optional printing of chord symbols at the end of a song
- Transpose up or down your song by mouse clicks
- Creates single song sheets or complete song books with a title page, table of
- contents, headlines with page numbering, chord table and index
- Supports ASCII tablature and the built in tablature directives for guitar and bass tabs
- Support for multiple languages (if you dont find your langauage, you can help the
- author to add it)
- Runs on Linux operating system (it should run on any Unix system that is supported by Perl/TK and LaTeX, but it is not tested)
- Setup your song book project from single song files with the include directive
- LaTeX commands may be used in Chordpro files (for the professionals)
Enhancements:

Smart Sharpening plugin is a method of sharpening, which sharpens only the edges in the image. This way the noise in the larger smooth parts doesnt get amplified as it does when using regular unsharp mask.

You can find more details on smart sharpening here at gimpguru.org.

Notice that the amount of sharpness is equal, but there is notably less noise. You can see that especially, when you look the hand of the guitar player.

playtab can print chords of songs in a tabular fashion.

SYNOPSIS

Options:

-transpose +/-N transpose all songs
-output XXX set outout file

-help brief help message
-verbose verbose information

OPTIONS

-transpose amount

Transposes all songs by amount. This can be + or - 11 semitones.

When transposing up, chords will de represented sharp if necessary; when transposing down, chords will de represented flat if necessary. For example, chord A transposed +1 will become A-sharp, but when transposed -11 it will become B-flat.

-output file

Designates file as the output file for the program.

-help

Print a brief help message and exits.

-ident

file

Input file(s).

The input for playtab is plain ASCII. It contains the chords, the division in bars, with optional annotations.

An example:

!t Blue Bossa

Bossanova
=
| c-9 ... | f-9 ... | d% . g7 . | c-9 ... |
| es-9 . as6 . | desmaj7 ... | d% . g7 . | c-9 . d% g7 |

The first line, !t denotes the title of the song. Each song must start with a title line.

The title line may be followed by one or more !s, subtitles, for example to indicate the composer.

The text "Bossanova" is printed below the title and subtitle.

The "=" indicates some vertical space.

The next lines show the bars of the song. In the first bar is the c-9 chord (Cminor9), followed by three dots. The dots indicate that this chord is repeated for all 4 beats of this bar. In the 3rd bar each chord take two beats: d5% (d half dim), a dot, g7 and another dot.

Run playtab with -h or --help for the syntax of chords.

If you use "=" followed by some text, the printout is indented and the text sticks out to the left. With this you can tag groups of bars, for example the parts of a song that must be played in a certain order. For example:

!t Donna Lee
!s Charlie Parker

Order: A B A B

= A
| as . | f7 . | bes7 . | bes7 . |
| bes-7 . | es7 . | as . | es-7 D7 |
| des . | des-7 . | as . | f7 . |
| bes7 . | bes7 . | bes-7 . | es7 . |

= B
| as . | f7 . | bes7 . | bes7 . |
| c7 . | c7 . | f- . | c7#9 . |
| f- . | c7 . | f- . | aso . |
| as f7 | bes-7 es7 | as - | bes-7 es7 |

You can modify the width of the bars with a !w control. Standard width of a beat is 30. !w +5 increases the width to 35. !w 25 sets it to 25. You get the idea. You can also change the height with !h (default is 15) and margin with !m (default width is 40).

You can transpose an individual song with !x amount, where amount can range from -11 to +11, inclusive.

Look at the examples, that is (currently) the best way to get grip on what the program does.

Oh, I almost forgot: it can print guitar chord diagrams as well. See "bluebossa", "sophisticatedlady" and some others.

Have fun, and let me know your ideas!
