Smart Beat

Practice, create and break the era.

Smart Beat is a free tablature editor for musicians and learners on macOS, Windows and Linux. Record your ideas, get the band together with in-person and online jamming, and practice with optional, self-hosted AI tools too.

Status: stable release (1.2.0). Smart Beat opens, plays and edits Guitar Pro files (GP3โ€“GP8), MuseScore, MusicXML and MIDI, with a mixer, practice tools and a fretboard, and saves to its native format (Guitar Pro 7 .gp), to Guitar Pro 5, 4 and 3 and to MuseScore. It exports MusicXML (also compressed), MIDI, alphaTex, ASCII tab, WAV and, on macOS, M4A. docs/file-formats.md lists what each format cannot hold. New in 1.2: Practice together for up to ten players in time, Stem separation (beta) on your own computer, and the cloud: a synced cloud folder, Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox in File โ€บ Open, and sharing tabs and stems with a link. Record to tab and Import from Audio are in beta; the next AI features (Speech to tab, Hum to accompaniment) are on the project board.
