I made a small app that converts tablature PDFs (text tabs, PDFs exported from Guitar Pro / MuseScore / TuxGuitar, or scanned tabs/screenshots via local OCR) into .gp5 files you can open in your usual charting tools. It reads tuning, tempo, time signature, rhythm, techniques (bends, slides, HO/PO, vibrato, palm mute…), repeats and lyrics (as a separate track).
It also has a practice player with a Rocksmith-style 3D highway, A–B loop that speeds up each pass, metronome and count-in.
Runs locally on your PC (Windows: double-click start.bat). Nothing is uploaded.
It does not connect to CustomsForge or Ignition.
The GP5 is a starting point: always check it, and follow the Charting Guidelines when making CDLC.
