GP6: Is it worth it?

[lduperval]

Hi,

 

I normally use TuxGuitar to do my initial tabs, but I'm considering getting GP6, because TG doesn't support unfretted slide, and fixing it in EOF is annoying, especially when I go back to the original tab and fix it. After loading, I have to redo the tweaks.

 

So I'm considering getting GP6, but before I do (and because the trial version won't let me save), do unfretted slides (e.g. slide from fret 7 to fret 4, but don't play the note) import correctly in EoF?

 

Is there any reason not to use it?

 

Thanks,

EOF properly imports the type of slide you're describing (legato slide) from GP5 files.  There are occasions where GP6 files don't export flawlessly to GP5 format, but it's likely that only more exotic notations run into this problem frequently.
