Overview
Cesure is a guitar tablature editor and musician toolkit available in a browser and on Android and iOS. The same score can be edited as tablature, standard notation, staff plus tab, or piano roll, using keyboard entry, score tapping, or a MIDI keyboard. It can transcribe MP3, WAV, or M4A recordings into editable tabs; the maker describes these as drafts and says clean single-instrument recordings work best. Chord detection is free, unlimited, and computed on the user’s device, including offline. Practice tools include measure looping, tempo training, a chromatic tuner, metronome, tap BPM, scale reference, and piano. Cesure imports Guitar Pro, MIDI, MusicXML, and AlphaTex, and exports PDF, MIDI, and MusicXML; Pro adds AlphaTex export. Editing can start without an account, but saving and syncing scores, transcription, and hosting a room require one. Free includes three saved scores and five monthly AI transcriptions. Pro costs €4.99 per month and includes unlimited transcription and a synced library.
