Capella scores are often converted when a guitarist needs to edit the music in Guitar Pro or share it with software that reads GP4 tablature files. The conversion moves notation into a guitar-focused format, so some score details may need manual adjustment.
What the CAP format is
In music composition, .cap is a score file created by capella notation software. It stores a notated musical score and may be encountered in older capella projects or when receiving scores from capella users.
What the GP4 format is
.gp4 is the Guitar Pro 4 file format for guitar tablature and notation. It is useful for editing guitar parts, playback, and sharing with software that supports Guitar Pro files; its age can limit support for newer notation features.
How to convert CAP to GP4

- Upload the CAP file on the converter page. Several files can be submitted as a batch; the page shows the per-file size limit.
- Start the conversion and wait for it to finish.
- Download the resulting GP4 file or files. Conversion runs on the server with MuseScore, alphaTab and PyGuitarPro.
Offline with desktop software
Use the free, open-source MuseScore and TuxGuitar applications. In MuseScore, open the CAP score with File → Open, then export it as uncompressed MusicXML using File → Export. In TuxGuitar, open the exported MusicXML file and use File → Save As to select the Guitar Pro 4 (.gp4) format. TuxGuitar is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Quality and compatibility
CAP stores general notation, while GP4 is designed around guitar tablature. Check instrument assignments, string tuning, note positions and rhythmic details in TuxGuitar after conversion; notation that GP4 cannot represent may be altered or omitted.
