Hello everyone, I am looking for software to write music sheets and tabs. A friend and music teacher uses Guitar Pro, but it's a little pricey for my occasional use.

It doesn't have to be an all-in-one solution. So for example, if you know a piece of software that does just cord visualization that's also highly appreciated.

Tux Guitar comes to mind but some things like chord diagrams isn't done as well as guitar pro (imo).

For chord diagrams (like at the top of GP), there's hundreds of websites out there which show those and its probably quicker to just use those. I'll usually just search "C chord ".

I would recommend this version, it is more active. Found it when reading through the SourceForge comments.

Nice to see that there's still dev activity at Tux Guitar.
