Actually, this thread is 5yrs old now, with only one post in 2007, and another one in 2008. 2009 is almost over; so to avoid what happened in dark 2006 (no post made that year!), here is my post:
Summary of the thread:
Q: "looking for a software for Linux that will read Guitar Pro 3 and Guitar Pro 4 files"
(update: now we have gp5 as well!)
A: "export the native file format to something more usable."
A: "go to guitar-pro.com"
(NA: Guitar pro doesn't have Linux version, only win & MAC)
A: "You can always EXPORT your GTP file...to MIDI and listen to it or edit it with your favorite LINUX MIDI player/editor"
A: "Viewer, Printer and Player program under Linux:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dguitar/ "
(update: latest version 0.5.8, easy to read but not to edit, doesn't support gp5 yet)
A: "KGuitar supports GP3 format"
A: "GTP3 works just fine with wine"
A: "how you could make gp4 work under wine:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=23343 "
(update: url isn't working)
A: "Yes, kguitar works too. But, I have had the most success with TuxGuitar."
A: "Why don't you just try Tuxguitar"
Final comment for the year 2009: TuxGuitar is working fine for me to read & edit GP5, it's above 65% similar to GuitarPro.
btw, I'm using GTP to act as AUD player, editor!
