(Linux only) - MIDI sequencer (e.g. timidity-daemon)
A compiler with C++17 support.

Building:

Windows:

Install Git - see https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git
Install vcpkg and run vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows boost-algorithm boost-date-time boost-endian boost-functional boost-iostreams boost-rational boost-signals2 boost-stacktrace doctest minizip nlohmann-json pugixml to install dependencies.
Install Qt by running vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows qt5-base qt5-tools (this may take a while), or install a binary release from the Qt website or https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall.
Open the project folder in Visual Studio and build.
- If running CMake manually, set CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE to [vcpkg root]\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake

PowerShell Installation Scripts

For a more installation streamlined process
- with at least PowerShell 5.1 is installed on your machine
- Run these powershell scripts in your powershell terminal with your shell working directory as your cloned project

.\scripts\Get-Dependencies.ps1 -vcpkg_exe_path "your/path/to/your/vcpkg.exe" -python_exe_path "your/path/to/your/python.exe";
.\scripts\Run-CMakeBuild.ps1 -vcpkg_dir "your/path/to/your/vcpkg" -qt_path "your/path/to/qt";

You'll have to update the variables for your specific paths to $vcpkg_exe_path, $python_exe_path, and $qt_path

Linux:

These instructions assume a recent Ubuntu/Debian-based system, but the package names should be similar for other package managers.
Install dependencies:
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt install cmake qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev libboost-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-iostreams-dev nlohmann-json3-dev libasound2-dev librtmidi-dev libpugixml-dev libminizip-dev doctest-dev
- sudo apt-get install timidity-daemon - timidity is not required for building, but is a good sequencer for MIDI playback.
- Optionally, use Ninja instead of make (sudo apt install ninja-build)
Build:
- mkdir build && cd build
- cmake ..
  - Add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path to customize the install directory.
  - Add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for a debug build instead of a Release build.
  - Add -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ to compile with Clang.
  - Add -G Ninja to generate Ninja build files.
- make -j8 or ninja
Run:
- ./bin/powertabeditor
- ./bin/pte_tests to run the unit tests.
Install:
- make install or ninja install

OS X:

Install Xcode along with its Command Line Tools.
Install dependencies:
- brew install boost cmake doctest minizip ninja nlohmann-json pugixml qt@5 pugixml rtmidi
Build:
- mkdir build && cd build
- cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt@5/lib/cmake ..
  - To generate an Xcode project, switch to -G Xcode and then open and build build/powertabeditor.xcodeproj
- ninja

powertabeditor's Issues

Mixer/instruments windows' draggable border is hidden.

I'm pretty sure this was left over from before the playback toolbar was added.

Guitar Pro Note Spacing Rendered Incorrectly.

The notes aren't given the full space that they command. There isn't any formatting done for guitar pro yet, so the notes are just placed one after another. So the red line "current location" marker might finish a measure by the third beat, for example. The visual doesn't align with the audio.

Test file: See the passage for the top staff at system 4, position 26.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=BF1A7BA5AAA1B4E4!159&authkey=!AKIy8FAlQeI9LiY&ithint=file%2cgp4

Add a new tab button to the tab bar

Similar to Firefox / Chrome / etc

Grace notes function, don't display properly.

For any duration shorter than a quarter note, the grace notes get included into the beaming pattern.
For any duration longer than an eighth note, the grace notes look like an eighth note.

Implement floating text

This will be a bit challenging due to the differences between the v1.7 format and the new file format.

Floating text in v1.7 is stored at an absolute position, but the new file format doesn't store any layout information (e.g. the height in pixels of a system, or how much space is between systems). This has a bunch of advantages, since it will let us do things like widescreen layouts very easily. But that also means that allowing users to place floating text anywhere in the score won't work well (for example, if you switched to a different layout, your floating text would all be out of position).

One option would be to only allow floating text to be inside a system, so if the layout moves a system around any text inside it will move along with it. That might be a bit problematic if someone deletes a staff and causes some text to end up outside the system though. Another option is to make it more like chord text, where it has to be located at the top of a system

Shifting tab numbers up/down

Ideally this should also work if you have multiple selected notes.

Crash when creating new file

Memory Leak.

Loading and removing tens of tabs leaves the program memory expanded.

Triplets aren't imported from Guitar Pro files

See attached example file:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byd1IDWcGH1OOWZfMGtzcWZod3c/edit?usp=sharing

Muted notes sound the same for every instrument

Currently, the MIDI player just switches the instrument to "Electric Guitar (Muted)" whenever it has to play a muted note. Version 1.7 was able to get a decent muted sound for each instrument, so it definitely is possible.

Notes from multiple voices can visually overlap

More copy options.

Copy measure A to B
Copy rehearsal C.
Copy key changes.

Allows you to copy without having to highlight/copy more than one section, multiple times.

Ties between notes in adjacent systems cannot be created.

Add a "File/Save" menu option

I intentionally left this out so that people don't accidentally save files in a format that may change substantially before the release. But we could probably add this in sometime soon.

View only tablature / standard notation.

This would be very useful for playback / printing purposes.

Make editing behaviour more consistent

For a barline, Shift+B will edit the barline type, and Ctrl+Del deletes it
For a player change, I can't edit an existing one and have to remove and recreate it just to add a new player - this gets really annoying!
- Similar for tempo markers, directions, etc
- For things like natural harmonics or trills, this behavior is probably okay though

Tab is only partially rendered

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byd1IDWcGH1ON0EyR1VWcjVrMDA/edit?usp=sharing

Looks like a rendering error - the tab is suddenly cut off if you scroll down.

The same file can be opened multiple times

Currently, the behaviour is:

The application has a single instance, so double-clicking a file in the file manager will open it in the open instance of the program if possible
No check is done for opening the same file multiple times

Possible options are:

Prevent users from opening the same file multiple times
Watch the filesystem for changes to any open files, and prompt the user to reload the file if it is changed elsewhere

Staves in the same system are not tied together

In v1.7:

Currently:

Display file information at the top of the score.

We'd need this for printing, but it might be nice as an option in general.

Notes that are close together are not offset.

Add timepiece to track song progress.

Playing a song in the middle of the tab should begin at 2:18, for example, rather than 0:00, to better correspond to the actual song's length.

Adjustable layout

Widescreen layout
Configurable system width?
Zooming in and out

Missing features when rendering tempo markers.

Listesso
Triplet feel and symbols.

2.0's display (in red) vs. 1.7's display (in green):

Support alternate endings for D.C / D.S. / D.S.S.

Optionally display an instrument label during a player change

Since you can now change instruments during a player change, this would be really useful:

Grace notes from Guitar Pro don't import.

Measure 6 (position 18) should be a grace note.

Irregular groups do not always affect beaming

See the attached file for an example:

Add support for rit./accel.

Rit./Accel. measures operate at a constant pace for the duration of measures between the current and ending tempo markers. The pace is fixed regardless of the tempos before or after them, or whether they are higher/lower than the rit/accel constant tempo pace.

If the rit/accel markers occur within a measure, they'll play at the aforementioned constant tempo, but the measure itself occupies the space of the measure as set by the tempo marker before it.

If the rit/accel markers are placed on the barline instead, there is no extra empty space at the end of the measure.

The Rit. tempo is somewhere above 300BPM (the limit for PTE1.7). The Accel. tempo is at about 250.

In 1.7, a rit. and an accel. perform identically. The only thing that truly matters is the starting/ending tempo markers.
For instance, a
(t=120 -accel- t=180) will play identically to a
(t=120 -rit- t=180.)

The Customize Shortcuts dialog doesn't check for duplicates.

Chord name dialogue should prohibit self-cancelling chord names.

The following cancellations/redundancies should be forbidden from being selected simultaneously (assuming my music theory is correct):

*Augmented/diminished 5ths and 9ths.
*Sus2/4 and add2/4.
*Add9/11 and extensions 9/11
*Extension 13 and alteration b13.

Ties are not displayed in the standard notation staff.

Add support for fade in/out functionality.

Test tab:

Rest menu lacks options.

Dotted
Double dotted
Tied rests
Double whole rests

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_whole_note

Playback toolbar buttons should have shortcuts

The tooltip for the stop/start button should mention that the spacebar can be used as a shortcut
The metronome toggle and the "return to beginning" buttons should have keyboard shortcuts and appear in the Playback menu

Add support for volume swells.

No editing. Imports don't display.
-Display swell start/stop volumes (can be hidden during playback).

Recent history/directory toolbar/pane. Windows 7 pinned/history.

Couple of related ideas here. One is specifically for Windows and so maybe not a great concept for a cross platform app. The idea is to provide quick access to the tabs you've been working on lately with minimal effort. The 2nd image is from Tabledit (what I used before PTE.)

Add drum score.

As an involved process, this is further down the pipeline, but is doable as the metronome already uses the drum patch 1.7 utilizes:

The Time Signature dialog should update the beaming pattern automatically

Also:
--changing the time signature should automatically enable/check the Show Time Signature box.
--you can have both Cut and Common Time checked at the same time.
--if you turn on Cut Time, the metronome pulses and beaming pattern aren't updated.

Implement rhythm slashes

Notes play as you enter them.

Typing in a note into the notation produces a pitch immediately so that you may hear whether you're entering the correct note. This feature can be toggled on/off in preferences.

Add support for tremolo.

Long rehearsal signs can overlap

Probably the best solution is to limit the rehearsal sign text to the width of the bar, and cut it off with an ellipsis. The tooltip should contain the full text of the rehearsal sign.

Newly-saved files should be added to the recent files menu.

Currently, only files that you open are added to that menu, but this would make it easier to re-open a file that you recently created.

Accents do not affect the playback volume of a note

Clean up dependencies on third-party libraries

Currently we have code from the following libraries scattered throughout our codebase:

We should be including these via git submodules so that we can easily upgrade to newer versions.

Crash when deleting a note that belongs to an irregular group.

Bends from Guitar Pro don't import.

Multiple system-multiple caret glitch.

Create enough systems to produce the scroll bar. Click on one system, move your mouse wheel one notch, and click on another system, move your mouse wheel in the opposite direction of the first time, click on a third system. You can do this indefinitely until all your systems have carets in them.

This is confirmed for r1325 also.

Bar numbers are not displayed

For example, a score in v1.7 looks like this:
And in v2.0 it looks like this:
