Make guitar & bass TAB in your browser — no install, free to start. Convert MIDI or MusicXML to playable TAB, get chord voicing suggestions, play back, print, and export MP4 video.

You don't need heavy software to write a quick TAB. notave lets you create professional-quality TAB & standard notation with a simple, intuitive interface. Playback, print, and video export — all in your browser. Drop in a MIDI or MusicXML file and notave generates guitar and bass TAB automatically.

  Songcraft – Online Songwriting Platform and Guitar Tab Builder2019 · ▲152

  Hi HN! I'm Gabe, the creator of Songcraft (https://songcraft.io/home). I recently dove headfirst into songwriting, and I quickly grew frustrated with my process. I found songwriting difficult enough without having to wrangle a mess of different tools, and there's no great solution to build chord sheets and tabs (unless you love pure text input). So, I built Songcraft - an online songwriting platform and tab builder. The drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to jump from chords to lyrics to melodies. I added a chord progression generator and chord recommendation engine to ensure…

  YouTube Guitar Tab ParserJul 2026 · github.com · ▲108

  I created a simple CLI that turns a YouTube guitar-lesson video into a PDF of the guitar tab. There are services that transcribe music from Youtube videos into tabs, but they never work well enough for me. Instead I'm taking a simpler approach. It downloads the video, samples frames, uses Claude vision to locate the tab region, crops every frame to that region, de-duplicates the crops by the bar number printed on each line of the score, and stitches the distinct tab lines vertically into a PDF. I didn't test it on a lot of different Youtube videos yet, so problem will arise for sure.

  I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device▲598

  I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  Needle2: 14MB agentic LLM for phones, wearables, smart home and robots▲537

  Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
