Talk:Guitar Pro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

this sounds a lot like an advertisement...

Don't think so; GP and Power Tab Editor have become widely used tablature software... only marginally larger than conventional text files, and comes with much more than just fret numbers. 61.91.191.11 15:49, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I Agree. Do we really need a page for this program? 68.111.52.153 22:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Of course we need a page for GP. This is not an advertisement since its not made by the creators of the software and never try to sell the product or show that it is superior in any way. We are talking about the most famous tablature editor here. If it doesn't deserve its page then which software does? A lot (I mean really a lot) of other software are present in wikipedia that falls very short of Guitar Pro's notability. It also have spawn a community of GP tab makers, just like the MOD players/trackers made in the Amiga days. It would be a shame to see a page about GP be thrown away. Sincerely, questioning GP's notability for inclusion in wikipedia sounds to me more like a direct attack from detractors of the software, not a reasoned, justified intention. If this page gets deleted then all other tab and score writer should also be deleted, being commercial or open-source. Loudenvier 12:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why keep this?

Why keep this but deleted Power Tab Editor? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JAStewart (talk • contribs) 21:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

I agree. If Power Tab Editor was removed for "blatant advertising" (even though there's no financial gain to be achieved through its advertisement, unlike Guitar Pro), then why does this article exist? DeeKenn 21:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Because the audience of this program is too big. It is also the best tab editor for Windows, period. Its POV so I will never put it into the article itself, but its the best, specially now with great printouts and the RSE engine. If it gets deleted then every other Scorewriter should be deleted too. By the way the Power Tab article did not looked like an advertisement to me. It was a shame to see it getting deleted (take a look at the Scorewriter article and see how many programs are even less notable than Guitar Pro). If I had known it was happening I could have fight to keep it too. If a wrong was made (deleting Power Tab) it doesn't means that another wrong should be done by deleting this page. I can't see why you all seems to be interested in deleting this article instead of adding to it, for example why didn't we start to introduce information about the GP community and historical achievements of the software?
