Capella scores use the CAP format, while Guitar Pro 3 and some tablature editors require GP3 files. Convert a CAP score when you need to open or share it in Guitar Pro 3.
What the CAP format is
CAP is a native score format used by Capella notation software. It stores notated music, including score parts and layout; you may encounter it when receiving a score created or edited in Capella.
What the GP3 format is
GP3 is the Guitar Pro 3 file format for guitar tablature and musical scores. It is useful for editing parts in Guitar Pro 3 or compatible tablature software, including instrument tracks, notes, and playback settings.
How to convert CAP to GP3
Online on 101convert.com
- Open the CAP-to-GP3 converter page on 101convert.com and upload your CAP file. The page shows the per-file size limit; multiple files can be added for batch conversion.
- Start the conversion and wait for it to finish. The conversion runs on the server with MuseScore, then alphaTab and PyGuitarPro.
- Download the resulting GP3 file.
Offline with desktop software
Capella can export a CAP score as MIDI, and Guitar Pro 3 can import MIDI and save the result as GP3:
- Open the score in Capella and choose File → Export → MIDI. Save the exported file, for example as
score.mid. - In Guitar Pro 3, choose File → Import → MIDI and open
score.mid. Review the imported tracks, then use File → Save as and save the file with the.gp3extension.
Quality and limitations
The MIDI-based desktop route transfers musical events rather than the original score engraving. Expect to lose page layout, lyrics, and some notation details; MIDI also does not preserve guitar fingering or tablature positions, so review and edit the imported tracks in Guitar Pro.
