Even if you follow all our best practices, GuitarConvert may still produce some transcription errors. Automatic guitar transcription is a complex process, and errors like wrong fret positions, incorrect notes, or timing inaccuracies can occasionally occur.
Since GuitarConvert generates both traditional sheet music and tablatures, it’s important to carefully review your tablature lines, as they provide the most precise representation of how to play the piece on the guitar.
To correct errors, here are your best options:
1) Instantly edit your sheet music in our in-app editor (Premium Only)
If you’ve subscribed to a plan and transcribed a full track (not just the free 30-second preview), you now have access to our built-in sheet music editor right after your transcription is complete.
With this editor, you can:
- Visually correct wrong notes directly on the digital sheet music.
- Add or remove notes, adjust durations, time signatures, and dynamics.
- Play back your transcription using realistic sounds.
- Print your final sheet or export it as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML.
- Work interactively on desktop, tablet or smartphone, without installing anything.
This feature is seamlessly integrated into the sheet music view and requires no software download or file export.
🎸 2) Choose another version of the song
If you’re not attached to a specific arrangement, try using a different version of the same song.
For better accuracy:
✅ Use a recording with a clear, solo guitar performance
✅ Try a Synthesia-style guitar tutorial instead of a live acoustic cover
✅ Select a simplified arrangement with fewer complex techniques
✏ 3) Manually correct the remaining errors in the tablature
If you want to keep a specific version of the song, the best approach is to edit the MIDI file manually to adjust fret positions and note timing.
Most tablature editors allow you to:
✅ Adjust fret positions for better playability
✅ Fix note durations and rhythmic inconsistencies
✅ Refine hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and bends
Here are some free tools to help you edit your tablatures:
• TuxGuitar (ideal for editing tablatures)
• Signal
Once your MIDI file is corrected, you can export it as a PDF with tablatures and standard notation using MuseScore or Flat.io. These tools allow you to visualize the sheet music on top and the tablature below, just like in GuitarConvert’s output.
🎼 4) Transcribe your piece again, filling in the musical information
To improve accuracy, you can input details before the transcription, such as:
✅ Time signature (4/4, 3/4, etc.)
✅ BPM (tempo)
This helps GuitarConvert refine the tablature positioning and sheet music accuracy.
