Export to Guitar Pro format #350

Closed cameronwhite closed 2 years ago

cameronwhite commented 2 years ago

This would be useful for exporting to other applications, websites etc which may not understand .pt2 files.

The best approach is probably to create .gp (GP7) files, since this mirrors how the guitar pro importer works. (The importers for versions 3/4/5/6 parse the file and then convert to our internal representation of the GP7 data, which is then converted to a .pt2 Score)

Does ascii export relate to this coding wise or is that an entirely different job even though technically an export? Creating a .txt file and..?

cameronwhite commented 2 years ago

Ascii export is fairly unrelated since it's exporting to a very different format

Ebdim9th commented 2 years ago

So for now its a one or the other proposition and exporting to GP would be more useful as the GP file you end up w can export to ascii, though i do hope to see import/export of ascii too eventually
