What is it?
It's MyTabs is an open source, web-based tablature viewer and player for guitar and bass. It opens Guitar Pro (.gp, .gpx, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5), MusicXML and .capx files, plays them back with a built-in MIDI synth, and lets you mute or solo individual tracks.
The main feature is manual sync: you can align a tab to an mp3 or ogg file, or to a YouTube video, so the playback cursor follows the music. Cursor modes include auto-scrolling without a cursor, highlighting the current bar, and following the cursor, and the view can switch between tab and score. Tabs can be shared through a link.
The app runs on Windows as a packaged executable, or on any machine through Docker, Docker Compose or Deno. It supports x64 and ARM64 and has a mobile-friendly interface, with data stored in a mounted data directory.
