Creating Guitar Tablature - recomendations?

Looking for a tool to create guitar tabs for students.
Added bonus if it can accommodate notation or create tabs from notation but not critical.
 
It's possible that I may already have such tools embedded in Sonar or other DAW but have had zero interest till now so have been oblivious.
 
Recommendations/suggestions appreciated.

There are both a TAB view and fretboard view (they may actually be linked but I forget now) inside of the Staff View in SONAR. I have not used them a long time so forget the TAB limitations.

ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.

There are tools for this, generally not inexpensive I'm afraid.

I use Finale for most of my notation/tablature work. I've been using it since 97, so after that painful first investment it hasn't been too bad. I'm not sure I'd recommend spending $600 unless you are going to use it a lot.


I also have Notion, which I'm using with Studio One. It is not at the same level as Finale in terms of engraving, but it works quite well. I have not tried Progression, which is geared more towards guitar, you might want to take a look.
 
There are a number of open source and freeware and lower priced tools out there, to be candid I just haven't felt the need to look at them, Finale does pretty much everything I need.

However, I should mention TablEdit. For $60 it handles guitar tablature really well, when I was teaching it was my main tool for lesson sheets. I still use it, just not as much. If I used it more I'd probably like it more. Definitely worth a look!

I have Notion, Overture, Forte and a couple of others, all of which are probably more than you need. I'm not familiar with TablEdit, so will check it out.
 
One other suggestion I'd offer is to check out Guitar Pro 7. The full version for PC/Mac is $75. I don't know what educational discounts are available. An advantage of GP7 is that it is compatible with thousands of tabs created with previous versions and available online for free. GP7 includes all of the (upgraded) instruments sounds you'll need (I had to buy the 6-pack of instruments soundbanks separately with GP6). Note that their mobile apps need some attention. They're a bit long in the tooth. That said, GP7 is a good tool not just for writing, but for mixing and playing along with.
 
EDIT: Here's a well-done review of GP7. Note that the current version is v7.0.4. It's much more stable now than the v7.0.0 that was reviewed. The author is correct that Arobas did the same thing with v6 (used their users as final beta testers).

Look into Notion and Guitar Pro 7.
 
GP7 will allow the best detailed articulation presentation.  Notion is a full blown notation package.

I use Guitar Pro 7 for writing notation and tabs for guitar lessons.  I upgraded from Guitar Pro 6 recently.  Once you get to know Guitar Pro it's easy to use.  I really like being able to write up something I've taught in a lesson ( a scale for example) and send it to a student as a Pdf and also an Mp3.  Arobas Music who produce GP7 provide really good support and get back to questions quickly.  Also it's very easy to find answers to questions on how to use the software via a google search

I would recommend Guitar Pro 7 too.  I only have one small issue with it - the chord diagams it creates indicates the fret number of the note closest to the nut, not the note on the low E string (or A string if the low E string is not being used).

Hi
Do you mean like this, which I did in Guitar Pro?

I think chords come out quite well.  I don't think you can change the fret number as this is showing which position on the fretboard you are in.  It would be good to have the facility to create a document with just the chord library you've created for teaching new chords etc.

I agree the chords look great.  But you are showing the problem I described.  The fret number should indicate 5 and should be to the left of the D note on the 5th string.
 
Don't most guitarists think the bass note's position = the fret number in a chord diagram?

I'm used to them with the first finger position shown.  Sometimes it's done in roman numerals.  The main thing is for it to be clear for the reader.  It can be done different ways though.  Have a look at something like Mike Di Liddo's 60 Contemporary Voicings in the Aebersold Jazz Books.  Perhaps some more editing options for chords might be in a future version.

If I can't figure where to play by the shape and name, I put my guitar away and play the harmonica for a while
 
Seriously, I haven't assumed a particular standard for this and I honestly can't tell how it's done in most TAB books or other software.

Sorry I disagree with you on both, IMHO that only confuses things for beginners.
Number stating bottom fret of chord is nice and simple.
If you want to indicate Root, 3rd, 5th, etc. - roman numerals, colors or even shapes are techniques I've seen used.
GP7 sounds interesting... from what I understand it can't now but if it could indicate note type at some point that would rock.
