Start from a printed or exported sheet music PDF instead of retyping the bass line.
Quick answer
Frettify converts readable PDF sheet music into four-string bass tablature by recognizing the score and creating an editable bass tab draft in the browser, including treble-register sources that need to be fitted into the bass range.
Start from a printed or exported sheet music PDF instead of retyping the bass line.
Get a four-line bass tab in standard E1 A1 D2 G2 tuning, not a six-string guitar tab with unused strings.
Automatically fit treble-clef or guitar-register notation into a playable bass range when needed.
Edit string and fret choices after conversion so the line sits under the left hand.
After conversion, review and edit your tablature, then download a Guitar Pro (.gp) file for editing and playback or export a PDF of your tab for printing. These downloads are available across Frettify's supported instrument conversions.
Frettify is designed for readable sheet music PDFs. Clean scans and exported digital scores usually work better than blurry photos, handwritten notation, or heavily marked-up pages.
Yes. Frettify uses standard four-string E1–A1–D2–G2 tuning and renders a four-line bass tab, not a guitar tab with empty extra strings.
Yes. Choose Bass before conversion. If the written part sits above the bass register, Frettify can shift it into a playable bass range while keeping the same intervals.
Upload a readable PDF score with Bass selected, generate four-string bass tab, then refine the line in the browser.
