  1. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    I agree completely with Robert,

    Starting a new Powertab would take us a lot of time, in the time we as
    developers would spend in doing something that loosely resembles
    powertab we would add tons of new functionalities to tuxguitar. Mo... (Read more)

  2. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    Well,
    I've been following these discussions for some time.. Here's my 10 cents... The Powertab application will likely not move forward.  I have since moved to using TuxGuitar. It is an open source application which works under several different... (Read more)

  3. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    I agree. Writing a parser in a scripting language is not fun
    especially because the lack low level operators. The php power tab
    parser had to define custom classes to do this. It took 1 month to
    write a basic parser, and about 7 months t... (Read more)

  4. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    So let's assume I have zero understanding of programming language. If
    I were to read through this Ruby tutorial, would it be possible for me
    to provide anything to the project? Or do I need to know a second
    language to decode the parser... (Read more)

    Hi Guys,

    After a long thought, I originally sent my opinions on this directly
    to Ronald. It has been decided to post it publicly for discussion.

    BTW, congratulations to Ronald for his success in working out a MPA

  6. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    Ouch. Maybe that is what happens when you start writing an editor
    before doing the ground work. 3-voice would definitely be one of the
    most useful additions for the Power Tab Editor.

  8. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    Yup, MusicXML is a fine thing, it was already considered in
    [link] before the parser was released
    open-source. Brad also favors MusicXML over own tab-specific XML... (Read more)

  9. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    That's something very interesting ! But what your post highlighted is
    the musicXML format existence (I didn't heard about it).
    IMHO what I think would be a very very useful initiative could be to
    design some ptb to musicXML translater ba... (Read more)

  10. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    Good point! Especially since they finally released a stable 1.0.
    TuxGuitar definitely has a different goal, because writing a full-
    fledged editor is just a long-term goal of rubypowertab. But
    nonetheless, there are certainly many intere... (Read more)

  11. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    I just wanted to draw your attention to tuxGuitar on sourceforge. They
    have a ptb parser and tuxGuitar also has plugins for gp3/4/5 and
    lilypond, musicXML and others. One possibility for this initiative
    would be to jump on board with the... (Read more)

  13. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    Hi Yann,

    I definitely agree, that maintaining the core in C(++) would make
    sense. I am also not a real Ruby expert or fanatic. However, the
    beauty of the language admittedly is phenomenal. Besides this
    fundamental fact, I had two... (Read more)

  14. Re: Ruby Power Tab Open-Source Project
    Hi Ronald,
    could I ask you the reasons of your choice of Ruby language ?
    Anyway your initiative is very interesting and the ultimate goal of
    designing an open-source ptb viewer/player is a VERY good idea as Brad
    has never open the d... (Read more)

    Dear developers,

    of a set of Power Tab Tools in the beautiful Ruby language - as open-
