I’ve improved support too for the way that notes are created and moved them to a later point in the implementation when parsing score.gpif (the Guitar Pro 6 score file), the reason for this this is by doing it this way it makes it easier to add articulations and other information to notes (less flags need to be created so mark out certain properties on notes which need to be taken into account during note creation). There are some cases where grace notes are failing to be created, I’ll need to look at the score files to find this case and fix any issues up, that should be done this week. I’ll need to test these features further before submitting a pull request with these updates, which I’ll also do this week. Grace notes are something that I’ve also been implementing, in addition to ties. I’ve also added some support for some dynamic markings, which largely work but I still need to check that the implementation doesn’t ever repeat dynamic markings unnecessarily. I’m trying to replicate this behavior exactly, and there are a few more details still to work out. Guitar Pro 6 will split certain percussive notes into their own parts and change the standard 5 line staff into a staff with an appropriate number of lines. I’ve added some support for certain articulations (marcato, fermata, and a few others), and been working on the drum set, which is now almost complete. Other than the above, I’ve been working on the Guitar Pro 6 format, where I’ve spent most of my time this week. I haven’t looked at this yet in all that much detail, but I expect that I’ll be looking at that this week and finding a solution for that. The other bug that I mentioned last week described slides not being imported. I’ll be looking at this again this week and will see if I can finish that off.

I’ve been looking at this bug and I think I’ve found the correct way to fix this, given the slight variation in how the format is composed – I still need to test more thoroughly the solution for this, as I’m not sure the current solution will work in all cases. This bug is triggered in older versions of Guitar Pro only, as Guitar Pro 6 does not make a distinction between a hammer-on and a pull-off and just represents this as a slur with no additional annotation. This bug has now been fixed, it was a problem localized to one version of Guitar Pro, I’ll make a pull request for this.Ī second bug involved slurs. One of these was a bug concerning the centering of empty bars, which looked somewhat awkward when some Guitar Pro files were loaded.

Last week I highlighted three issues that still remain with the older versions of Guitar Pro. From a frenzied hoedown ("Or from behind") and feedback-humming drone-pop ("In the rain") to something resembling Henry Cow playing Norwegian black metal ("In profile") and paradoxically Brutalist complexity ("Or head on"), each song is a short burst of finger-flicked frenzy.This week I’ve been doing my usual blend of fixing a few bugs which have been flagged against the previous versions of Guitar Pro and enhancing the support for the GPX format that I’ve been building. A wild deconstructionist whose catalog spans a splatter of hardcore punk, noise and electronic music, Orcutt has written and improvised on four-stringed guitars for four decades, culminating in the ecstatic minimalism of last year's Music for Four Guitars, each part played and dubbed over by himself.Īt the Tiny Desk, however, Orcutt brought along a who's who of forward-thinking guitarists to perform these rowdy, giddy and shreddy pieces: Wendy Eisenberg, Ava Mendoza and Shane Parish, who transcribed the original recordings.

"How loud can we be?" Bill Orcutt asked as his guitar quartet tuned their Telecasters and Jazzmasters for sound check.
