Horrible program! After hours of work, the program keeps freezing! Since nothing can be saved, all your work is lost and wasted! This hasn't happened with any previous version! Unfortunately, there is no other program I know of that works for my style of work. Version 1.6.6 is unfortunately unusable with these crashes! I'm honestly trying not to be abusive. I'm extremely angry!

moved on github version 6.4 by helge17 the former dev passed away 2 years ago lot has been done but lot is to be done, good when you play back but a waste of time for creating a tab it's not a poor project, but updating is much to slow

Tux Guitar est une très belle application mais je suis vraiment surpris qu'il n'y ait pas la possibilité d'indiquer les doigtés utilisés; C'est indispensable pour les tablatures. En cherchant sur le forum , j'observe que cette question est récurente depuis au moins 2018 !? Si cette option existe elle est vraiment bien cachée.

A great project, and I also hope to make some contributions to this project

Very buggy in this version and the last few version that I have used for years. For example, if you double clicked on the tab file, the TuxGuitar will open but will only show you a untitled.tg file. THis will not work even if you save to the most recent tg file.
