Bar settings, swing and song info in the editor
Pro members can now change a bar's time and key signature, tempo, repeats, endings, sections and jumps, add swing, and fill in the song's title and credits, right in the editor. Swing in Guitar Pro files now plays.
Change how a bar is played (Pro)
While editing, press Bar settings. It shows the bar the cursor is on, and you can change:
- Time and key signature. A new one lasts until the next change, as in Guitar Pro. Bars that no longer add up are marked, so you can fill them with rests or move the extra notes on.
- Tempo changes. The speed shown above the score follows them. You can also give one a name, such as "Moderato", which Guitar Pro shows.
- Swing. Pairs of 8ths or 16ths are played long-short. The score says "Swing 8ths" where it starts and "Straight" where it stops.
- Repeats and endings. Start and end a repeat, choose how many times it plays, and mark the 1st, 2nd and later endings.
- Sections, such as "A Verse" or "B Chorus".
- Signs and jumps: segno, coda and fine, D.C. and D.S., and "to coda". Playback follows them.
- Double bar lines.
Song info
Press Song info to fill in the title, subtitle, artist, album, who wrote the words and the music, the copyright, who made the tab, and notes. They're saved in the file, and Guitar Pro shows them too.
Fixes
- Guitar Pro songs with swing now play swung and show where the swing starts. Before, the swing was ignored.
- An ending's number ("1.") now shows on a bar that also has a section or tempo mark. Before, the mark covered it.
