TablEdit users need a GP4 file when a collaborator or older Guitar Pro-compatible editor requires that format. Converting the score lets it be opened and edited in software that does not read TEF files.
What the TEF format is
TEF is TablEdit’s native format for tablature and standard notation, commonly used for guitar and other fretted instruments. It can store musical notation, instrument and tuning information, and score markings. You encounter it in tabs created or shared by TablEdit users.
What the GP4 format is
GP4 is the Guitar Pro 4 score format. It stores tablature and notation for editing in Guitar Pro 4 and compatible applications. It is useful when a recipient, archive, or older editing workflow specifically requires Guitar Pro 4 files.
How to convert TEF to GP4
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the TEF file on the converter page.
- Choose GP4 as the output format and start the conversion. Multiple files can be converted in one batch; the page shows the per-file size limit.
- Download the converted GP4 file.
The conversion runs on the service using MuseScore, then alphaTab and PyGuitarPro.
Offline with desktop software
TablEdit can export its scores to Guitar Pro format and is available for Windows and macOS. Open the TEF file, select File → Export → Guitar Pro, choose GP4 if the export dialog offers a version choice, then save the file. Menu labels and available export versions can vary by TablEdit release.
Conversion limitations
Check the exported score in a GP4-compatible editor: notation details or TablEdit-specific markings may not transfer exactly, and playback can differ if the destination application handles instruments or articulations differently.
