Known limitations

What this version can't do, and behaviour worth knowing about.

Files#

• .gp3, .gp4 and .gp5 files can’t be opened. Convert them to .gp first.
• Exporting to a .gp file loses the pedalboard and system breaks.
• You can’t export in the .gpx format.
• A track’s sounding transposition can’t be exported to a .gp file.

Editing#

• You can’t edit the score during playback. Undo, cut and paste are paused too. Copying and moving the cursor still work.
• Filling a short bar with rests may not cover leftover tuplet lengths. This applies both to clicking the meter and to the Fill Short Bars With Rests setting.
• After you write one note in an empty bar partway through the song, both →Right and audio note input move on to the next bar and leave the remainder of the bar empty.
• The voice keys switch only between the first and second voices.
• Deleting a bar affects only the bar under the cursor, even with a range selected.
• On piano and drum tracks, number keys don’t enter notes.

Playback and export#

• MIDI and audio export aren’t available during playback.
• MIDI files don’t include technique marks, lyrics or chord names.
• The audio export format is fixed at stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16-bit.
• Gradual tempo changes, fermatas and the sustain pedal are only drawn in the score; they don’t affect playback.
• Guitar played through the pedalboard isn’t included in audio export.

Display#

• Technique text in the score (such as P.M. and let ring) and note names are always in English, whatever the language.
• Track and section names imported from .gp files aren’t translated.
• Direction names such as D.S. appear the same in every language.

Free version#

• Saving, exporting and printing aren’t available.
• There’s no autosave, so changes are lost when you close.
