Notation Software

I recently enquired about blank tab sheets to allow me to transfer sheet music in notation to tab.

I have GuitarPro software on my computer and realised it allows notation to be converted to ukulele tab.

I haven’t used it much but did a reasonable first attempt with Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge over troubled waters. Very very slow process . The bar auto corrections helped me decide which notes were needed to fit the time scale. Apart from a couple of occasions where I tried to use tie and it should have been a slur I thought I did Ok for a first attempt.

How have others got on with any software or apps for their uke adventure . I will attempt to put some of Jeff Peterson 20 practice studies for classical guitar in to tab and see if it converts nicely to uke. He has a similar uke book but don’t see the worth in a duplicate buy, similar with his classical pieces for baritone which I have already bought for low g uke. I need to stop buying books with only notation not realising they don’t have tab. I can sight read very slowly but not well enough to play from sheet music alone.

My tutor uses Sibelius as I guess like you he has an educational license. GuitarPro did what I needed . I had to play around with the ukulele tunings available within to see which notes stayed within the stave. I have to stave off spontaneous buys. Think first, more consideration. Once a book sells he book kind of gets transposed. Theory for Piano becomes for Guitar and then Bass. I suspect the tunes in classical for Baritone will match those for the low g. Currently fighting off a touch of GAS. Noah tenor x or Uma 30st or classic st. Even considering selling a guitar to get the funds. Oh dear.
