Guitar Pro for piano?

@Brave Toaster  - Aug. 12, 2015, 3:37 a.m.

Hello, gametabbers!

I've been playing the guitar for a while now, and thought it would be cool to give the piano a shot. I learned to read sheets and I can play a few easy songs so far.

But is there a program for piano sheets that works like guitar pro? Something that showed the sheets while playing a MIDI version of the music. If it could show the piano keys it would help a lot, too.

I searched around on Google but didn't find anything conclusive. I can find tons of sheets, which is great, but it's hard to play more complex songs just with that, specially for a beginner. And I'm tired of youtube tutorials!

on guitar pro you can go to view and select piano keyboard to see where notes would land on a piano, probably a lot of the guitar duets on here would be simple to turn into piano arrangements

Yup, Jacob is correct. That's the case with GP6. Not sure about 5 as I haven't used that in ages.

The first thing that comes to mind is Synthesia. It's not exactly like Guitar Pro but it does play the MIDI and there is a sheet music and piano view. It also shows you which notes are coming. It's also a nice little tool to use when learning piano songs (It's pretty much dedicated to piano). Have a look on google and youtube for what it looks like. It runs for $40 but is on sale for $29 for summer. There's also a demo if you want to try it out first.

I think Guitar pro 5 can't manage the highest and lowest piano notes but GP 6 should do the trick. You can view the notes on the keyboard in both. You can also try Finale. http://www.finalemusic.com/products/

As Jordan said I don't think the Piano in GP5 has the same range of notes, however it does have a midi keyboard that shows you where the note is the tab is played relative to a real keyboard.

If you're looking for a program similar to Guitar Pro but for piano sheets, I recommend checking out "Synthesia." Synthesia is a popular software that provides a visual representation of piano sheets and can play a MIDI version of the fnf music while displaying the corresponding keys to press.
