About unstrung

This is the documentation for unstrung 0.10.3.

unstrung is an accessible, screen-reader-friendly viewer for song composition files, such as Guitar Pro tablature. It parses a file into its underlying data model (tracks, tuning, measures, time and key signatures, and more) and presents that information as plain, semantic HTML text and headings instead of a visual score, so it can be read and navigated entirely with a screen reader.

unstrung also has tools designed to encourage practice and new skills development.

Supported File Formats

• Guitar Pro: .gp, .gpx, .gp5, .gp4, .gp3
• MusicXML: .musicxml, .xml
• alphaTex: .atex, the format chord progressions are saved in
