Guitarpro
A Rust safe library to parse and write guitar pro files.
It is based on Perlence/PyGuitarPro, TuxGuitar and MuseScore sources.
usage
```rust
use guitarpro;
fn main() {
let f = fs::OpenOptions::new().read(true).open("myawesomesong.gp5").unwraporelse(|error| {
panic!("Unknown error while opening myawesomesong.gp5");
});
let mut data: Vec = Vec::withcapacity(size);
f.take(u64::fromnebytes(size.tonebytes())).readtoend(&mut data).unwraporelse(|error|{panic!("Unable to read file contents");});
let mut song: guitarpro::Song = gp::Song::default();
match ext.asstr() {
"GP3" => song.readgp3(&data),
"GP4" => song.readgp4(&data),
"GP5" => song.read_gp5(&data),
"GPX" => println!("Guitar pro file (new version) is not supported yet"), //new Guitar Pro files
_ => panic!("Unable to process a {} file (GP1 and GP2 files are not supported)", ext),
}
}
```
Roadmap
- [ ] Documentation
- [x] Read GP3 files
- [x] Read GP4 files
- [ ] Read GP5 files: almost working, Coda and similar directions are not working, use
test/Demo v5.gp5 to test/fix/pull request/...
- [ ] Read GPX files (version 6)
- [ ] Read GPX files (version 7)
- [ ] Write GP3 files
- [ ] Write GP4 files
- [ ] Write GP5 files
- [ ] Write GPX files (version 6)
- [ ] Write GPX files (version 7)
About me
I started to play guitar in 2019 and I have a pack of Guitar Pro files and sometimes I get a new files from Songsterr. I want to write a better documentation but I don't know all the stuffs that I can see on a score ;)
In order to make another software (with advanced search, chord detection, ...), I need a library that is able to parse and write Guitar Pro files.
