[MusicTlk] Looking for a way to convert Ultimate Guitar PDF to XML to use with Lime Software

[Rick Thomas]

Hi Folks:
Guitar Pro has music xml already embedded in some (all?) of their offerings - or use to.
A few years ago I used it with muse score to extract a guitar part and convert it to text as at test of concept.
The trick is to either convert digital tab or pdf tab to mxml or find those guitar pro songs with mxl already provided.
Then you can create whatever type of outputs, text, audio or perhaps using AI spoken instructions with examples and more.
There are apps that already convert sheet music, perhaps digital tab and pdf to other forms including music braille so the front end work has already been created.
Just out of curiosity,what programming experience do you have and do you have a background in AI?
AI may be a big help if you want to build something more generic and more advanced - I have no background using AI but am a very very old computer programmer so know what you are looking at in terms of technicals depending on what youe want to accomplish.
If you give me more details I will try and help lay out some type of plan.
