- Songs are described as ZIP files containing plain JSON, stored in a folder the user chooses, with Guitar Pro and MIDI export.
Field notes
The workflow pairs string-and-fret lanes with a recording or video: users pin beats to moments, then loop passages at reduced speed without changing pitch. The page says it imports Guitar Pro 3–8 and MIDI, preserves articulations, and exports to Guitar Pro 5 or MIDI; songs are stored as ZIPs of JSON in a chosen folder. It also describes live shared editing and PDF score export, though the homepage does not establish current release status.
