Guitar Tablature to Standard Notation Converter
Enter guitar tablature below. This tool will convert the fret numbers on each string into standard musical notes (e.g., E4, G3).
Please use standard 6-string guitar tuning (E-A-D-G-B-e) and include string labels (e.g., `e|`, `B|`).
Only numbers (frets) and dashes (`-`) are processed. Other characters will be ignored.
Example:
e|--0-1-2----------|
B|--------0-1-2----|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------------|

Important Notes & Limitations:
- Simplified Conversion: This tool converts fret-string combinations to individual notes and octaves (e.g., "E4"). It does **not** interpret rhythm, duration, or complex musical symbols found in full standard notation.
- Standard Tuning (EADGBe): Assumes standard 6-string guitar tuning. Conversions for other tunings will be inaccurate.
- String Labels Required: Each line of tablature should ideally start with its string label (e.g., `e|`, `B|`, `G|`, `D|`, `A|`, `E|`). If labels are missing, the order of input lines will be assumed for standard tuning from top (high e) to bottom (low E).
- Basic Parsing: Only numeric fret values and hyphens are processed. Other characters (like 'p' for pull-off, 'h' for hammer-on, 'b' for bend, '/' for slide) are ignored.
- Open Strings: '0' represents an open string.
This tool is a basic aid for understanding note relationships in tablature, not a full musical transcription service. For precise musical notation, specialized software is recommended.
