Features
.gp compatibility
Your library comes in and what you write goes back out: Tonograph opens the .gp and .gpx files of Guitar Pro 6, 7 and 8 and writes .gp — with its own code, and no library in between.
Everything the format holds
Tonograph reads .gp (Guitar Pro 7 / 8) / .gpx (Guitar Pro 6) track by track: articulations and fingering, tempo changes, repeats and jumps, drums, piano and grand staves, chord diagrams and lyrics. What opens is the score as it was written, not a flattened approximation of it.
Written back, with the losses named first
Export writes a .gp that Guitar Pro 7 and 8 open; a score that came in as .gpx goes back out as .gp. Tonograph can notate a few things the format has no room for; before it writes the file, it lists exactly which of those your score uses, so nothing is dropped quietly.
Older files: convert once
Files from Guitar Pro 5 and earlier (.gp3 / .gp4 / .gp5) use a different, binary encoding that Tonograph does not read. Open them in Guitar Pro 8 and save them again as .gp, and they are in. The free version is enough to check your library before you buy anything.

Reading .gp is in the free version. Writing it is in the paid version.
