User Reviews

  • Tux Guitar est une très belle application mais je suis vraiment surpris qu'il n'y ait pas la possibilité d'indiquer les doigtés utilisés; C'est indispensable pour les tablatures. En cherchant sur le forum , j'observe que cette question est récurente depuis au moins 2018 !? Si cette option existe elle est vraiment bien cachée.
  • A great project, and I also hope to make some contributions to this project
  • Very buggy in this version and the last few version that I have used for years. For example, if you double clicked on the tab file, the TuxGuitar will open but will only show you a untitled.tg file. THis will not work even if you save to the most recent tg file.
  • The number of completely infuriating issues with this program is absolutely ridiculous. I genuinely have no clue how on earth it has such a high rating, the people rating it must be blind or something. For just a few examples, when you try scroll down it will automatically drag you BACK to where you were, ALL THE TIME. If you have a big tab you’re working on you have to click somewhere in the lowest point visible, scroll, click again at the lowest point, scroll and continue doing that until you get to where you want to be. You can’t just scroll down to it. Furthermore it is so insanely inconsistent, it’s like the program doesn’t even know what it wants to do, often times you make a change and it AUTOMATICALLY makes a WHOLE load of changes around it, sometimes that’s helpful sure, but if you click the buttons to put it back the way it was it doesn’t go back the same, no, no, no, for whatever ungodly reason it decides “nah let’s not do that let’s do it differently” and sometimes it doesn’t even end up the same as it was before, not just the notation but the actual sound. And the only way to get it back is through the undo button or rewriting it. So if you’re writing a song, and then decide to change part of it SLIGHTLY there’s a good chance you’re going to have to completely rewrite that part. But you know what the BEST part about this program is? It has exactly
  • been using tuxguitar since 2013 and i've never found anything better! it's the best free & opensource tab editor & player
