Hi Mucatters,

All I need is a simple notational program that will convert guitar arrangements to tablature and
show both notes and tab. It would be nice if the graphics were presentable. I am writing a book of my arrangements of folk songs for intermediate finger style guitar players.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for you advice.

Frank

I use Musescore. It's free, works on Windows Mac and Linux and produces Notation, Tab or both at the same time.

I enter notation and the program converts the notation to tab. I think it work the other way round but I've not tried it that way. There is an online manual which I have found really useful.

Yes, recommend Musescore too. I've used it for 5 yrs. I use it for fiddle/Mando at it is excellent. I am sure it will handle guitar just as well.
