Guitar Pro 5 users need a GP5 copy of a TablEdit score when they must open or edit it in software that does not read TEF. Converting the file preserves its tablature in a format used by Guitar Pro 5 and compatible tab editors.
What the TEF format is
TEF is TablEdit’s native format for tablature and standard notation, commonly used for guitar and other fretted instruments. Files are typically created or edited in TablEdit and may contain multiple tracks, instrument settings, and performance markings.
What the GP5 format is
GP5 is the Guitar Pro 5 tablature format. It stores multi-track scores with notation, rhythms, instrument parts, and playback information, and is useful for editing or sharing arrangements with Guitar Pro 5 and editors that support GP5. It is an older format, so newer notation features may not be represented fully.
How to convert TEF to GP5
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the TEF file on the converter page; multiple files can be submitted as a batch. The page shows the per-file size limit.
- Choose GP5 as the output format and start the conversion. The conversion runs on the site’s server with MuseScore, then alphaTab and PyGuitarPro.
- Download the converted GP5 file and open it in a compatible editor to check the result.
Offline with desktop software
In TablEdit, open the TEF file, then use File → Export → Guitar Pro. Choose version 5 (GP5) in the export options, if prompted, and save the output with a .gp5 filename. TablEdit is available for Windows and macOS.
Quality and compatibility
Check the exported score for bends, slides, tuplets, repeats, and track-specific settings: features expressed differently by TablEdit and Guitar Pro may be altered or omitted. Compare the GP5 playback and notation with the original TEF before sharing or using the file for performance.
