Dorico vs TuxGuitar

Dorico is music notation software for creating, editing, arranging and publishing scores. It supports MIDI and MusicXML import and export, as well as audio and graphics export. Composers can move music between players, expand or reduce it across instruments, and create fully voiced parts from chord symbols. Scores are formatted automatically, while Dorico Pro adds thousands of customization options. The software includes hundreds of sounds, more than 30 effects processors and an audio Mixer. Music can be shared with performers or collaborators, and team workflows are supported. Dorico runs on desktop and iPad; the iPad version can produce sheet music for playing, sharing or printing. Dorico SE 6 is free forever for works of up to eight players, and Dorico for iPad is offered as a free full version with optional paid functionality. A 60-day trial is available. Paid versions start at ₹10,913.00, including 15% VAT; Dorico Pro 6 costs ₹63,194.00, including 15% VAT.

TuxGuitar is a free editor and player for multi-track guitar tablatures, available for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows. It supports tab and standard notation, MIDI, and playback, and can open Guitar Pro, Power Tab Editor, TablEdit, and MIDI files. Versions 2.0.0 and later use a format that older TuxGuitar releases cannot read, though tablatures can be exported in the older format.
