Use GP5 when a bandmate, editor, or older Guitar Pro installation needs a Guitar Pro 5 project rather than a MuseScore score. Converting can also make guitar tablature easier to edit in software built around Guitar Pro files.
What the MSCX format is
.mscx is MuseScore’s uncompressed, XML-based score format. MuseScore saves editable notation, instruments, layout, and score data in MSCX files; its compressed counterpart is .mscz. You may encounter MSCX when someone shares a MuseScore score or when a score is saved in uncompressed form.
What the GP5 format is
.gp5 is the native project format used by Guitar Pro 5. It stores guitar-oriented tablature and notation, with multiple tracks and playback data, and is useful when a collaborator or editing workflow specifically requires Guitar Pro 5 compatibility.
How to convert MSCX to GP5
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the MSCX file on this page. The page shows the per-file size limit.
- Start the conversion. The conversion runs on the server with MuseScore, then alphaTab and PyGuitarPro.
- Download the resulting GP5 file. You can submit several files as a batch.
Offline with desktop software
TuxGuitar is a free, open-source option for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Use MuseScore to export an intermediate MusicXML file, then open it in TuxGuitar and export it as GP5:
- In MuseScore, open the MSCX file and choose File → Export. Select MusicXML and save the score as
.musicxml. - In TuxGuitar, import the MusicXML file using File → Import and select the MusicXML format.
- Choose File → Export, select Guitar Pro 5 as the format, and save the result with a
.gp5extension.
Quality and compatibility
MSCX can contain MuseScore-specific notation and layout that GP5 does not represent in the same way. MusicXML import and conversion may change formatting, articulations, playback details, or instrument assignments; check the resulting tracks and tablature in Guitar Pro-compatible software before sharing.
