However, the project is not limited to the initial instrument, which can even be completely changed. Other instruments can be included in a song, and you can even start off from previous creations, with support for GuitarPro, Power Tab, TuxGuitar, and MIDI files.

Multiple tracks can be added, each with a representation of a score and tablature. Notes can be added on the spot, but input can also come from a connected MIDI device. You can insert notes from a piano roll, fretboard, matrix, or timeline editor.

Instruments are generally based on the default Windows MIDI sound library, which makes up for quite an impressive array of instruments. Lyrics can be included in a song, with the possibility to make them visible on the track. There’s also support for VST plugins for advanced sound processing and manipulation.
