Fretwright, a guitar tab editor.

A tablature editor that runs in the browser.

The Fretwright editor: a four-bar guitar score with its tab underneath and a fretboard below

What it does

Tuplets, ties, bends and odd time signatures survive a save and reload instead of being flattened. Click the score to pick a beat, then click the fretboard.

Who it’s for

Guitarists who write down tabs and transcriptions.

Why we built it

Most tab editors flatten the odd parts of real music.

What we’re proud of

Odd meters and bends make the round trip intact.

Technologies used

What it’s built with.

alphaTabAn open-source engine that draws guitar tablature and standard notation in the browser. Fretwright edits its score model.
