I don't read music very well but I'm pretty good at reafing guitar tabs. I love that BIAB has a tab display option but the tabs shown up as a separate ledger under the musical notes ledger. This is ok but needlessly adds stuff I don't use on the screen and prints out on many sheets. I'd like to see a tabs only option. Just the chords above the measures along with the tabs.

Always wanted this feature. They have it in Guitar Pro and any other number of transcription programs. Don't really know anything about programming TBH, but I imagine it would not take more than a couple of hours to add that option.

Is it possible to transfer files from BIAB to Guitar Pro to get good tab notation?

I don't have Guitar Pro, but does it import MIDI or Music XML? BIAB can export those formats. MIDI won't include chord symbols, but XML will.

Thanks for the tip! I exported one song from BIAB as MIDI then imported it into a trial version of Guitar Pro. Took some figuring out, but it works. I imported just the melody track then found a semi hidden place to turn off the music notes and just leave the tab. I have to do some clean up on notes played on the wrong strings but no big deal. The other issue is even though I turn off the notes it draws rythm lines extending below the tabs so there is still a lot of wasted space. So back to BIAB this seems like it should be a really easy fix. Just provide a button like Guitar Pro has to turn off the notes and just leave the tab.

Some of the guitarists on this forum may have more advice.
Does Guitar Pro read Music XML?

Yes I found out that it does read XML. I saved the guitar tabs from BIAB as XML then imported the XML into Guitar Pro. I got the tabs and chords, just what I wanted, with nothing extra. Thanks a lot! I celebrated by playing Take the A Train from the tabs.

Cool!
May I recommend you take two actions:
1) edit your original post topic to add "-SOLVED" on the end
2) post your finding in a new post in the Off-Topic Forum. That's where we typically discuss music software other than PG Music products.

I suggest that you also post it in the tips and tricks forum. PS - without notation I am lost with tabs! We never had them when I started playing guitar. Having both tabs and notes is the only way to go for myself. YMMV.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Have a look at the free TuxGuitar it will show just Tab from midi and open GPX files.
