Hi Djordie, Everyone
I decided to turn my bookcase full of guitar lesson handouts into some
guitar instructional books and compared and tried out many different music
software programs. The only guitar specific one I use all the time is Guitar
Pro. I wanted to do things Guitar Pro does not do.
After trying many software demos including Progression and Finale
Guitar/Songwriter ete. I purchased Sibelius G7 from Guitar Center. Just recently
discontinued, I have found no bugs in using G7 the past few months. The built in
Help File is good and I printed out the entire PDF Manual and put it in a
binder.
Sibelius still offers phone tech support if you get stuck trying to figure
out how to do something. I called twice got through right away and got a quick
answer. G7 lets you create custom chord diagrams and save them as a library, if
the built in ones do not meet your needs.
G7 supports alternative tunings, and all the standard guitar notation and
tab layouts into rhythm guitar slashes. G7 does support real time midi input
from a midi guitar or keyboard. If you do not mind printing out the PDF manual
G7 is a great addition to your software library.
I am using it on my Vista Desktop. G7 works on all versions of Windows since
win 98 and also many Mac versions also. Comes with one program disc, an
installation guide. a pdf manuals disc and comes with guitar samples for
playback purposes. I do not know if you can get it direct from Sibelius anymore,
but my Guitar Center Kontakt Edition was on sale when I got it a few months ago.
G7 has been out for about 7 yrs now. You can find many reviews online.
I am hoping Guitar Pro 6 finally has real time midi guitar input. For my
projects I use different pieces of music software, because different programs
all do certain things best and do things other programs do not do. G7 and Guitar
Pro are a very nice combination for composing, recording, performing and
teaching.
Happy Midi Guitars

Subject: [midiguitar] Progression (was: My GI-20 for sale on Evilbay)

Jeff and everybody else, does Progression support
realtime recording from midi, with the correct timing?

I use Guitar Pro 5, but it can record only note by note,
rhythmic value has to be set manually. Finale can record
midi-guitar correctly, but it is not so easy to use.

Maybe Progression is the best today for guitar composers?
Are there many layout options?

Cheers,
Djordje
