Is TuxGuitar Site Dead?

Posted by Tom T on December 16, 2014 at 10:32am in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

I found a reference to TuxGuitar tab software here on the forum. I went over to their web site and noticed than postings stopped mid-2012. I also noticed that there is no way to post on the "Help" forum. Is this site dead or inactive? Is the software still worth trying? I saw that it only went down to four strings in the tab display, but a three-string tab from another software pack could be imported and used.

Any suggestions for tab software that does not have a steep learning curve?

Thanks

    Following the new link I was sent because of the site overload results in "pagina non travata" .

    It's not worth this much trouble to download open source software.

    Ok ,I can not get too specific. I expanded the post about "print setup " with further explanation. But there may be variations of which I am not aware of.

    The project is a work in progress , we are working to improve it.

    Have a nice day

      Thanks Antonio.

      I gave it a try via the batch file, but the result was the same. I even tried setting the settings to the Default, but no improvement. The application just doesn't seem to want to work with Adobe Acrobat printing.

      Thank you

    Progression is good, works for 3 string.  https://shop.presonus.com/products/progressionn/Progression-3. I use the ipad version which is way cheaper.

    Tabledit is good too but not so easy to figure out if you're not reading the dots as well.

    TuxGuitar still appears to be working though.

      Thanks Patrick. I see it is a windows 7~8 app. I'll check it out some more and see if it will work for me.

      Regards

              Thanks Antonio.

              I watched the vid to see what was new. Overall, it looks good, but I still could not find a way to spread the horizontal lines of the staff so that the note numbers in the tab did not over write one another when the text size was increased enough to be readable when printed.

              I'll download and give it a try.

              Thanks for the information.

              Buona giornata

                if you can, give me a feedback when you try it.

                Buon proseguimento !!
