Songwrite – music score and songbook editor

Songwrite 3 is a music score and songbook editor. In addition to tablatures, it also supports staff, lyrics and drums.

This software also manages lyrics. Songwrite 3 can play and print the partitions. When it starts, a new song is created and edited. By default, a single guitar instrument is present.

Printing support and playback are available through external programs. Songwrite was formerly know as GTablature.
