How it works

From notation to fretboard in seconds

JumpTabs™ handles the hard part — turning musical notation into guitar positions — so you can focus on playing.

1

Upload your sheet music

Upload a PDF, image, or scan of any sheet music — purchased, printed from lessons, or archived. JumpTabs™ reads it.

2

Automatic conversion

JumpTabs™ analyzes the notation and generates the corresponding guitar tab — mapping every note to its optimal fret position.

3

Play it back

Your tab plays back immediately. Slow it down, loop a section, or step through note by note. Hear exactly how it should be articulated.

4

Edit and save

Adjust fret positions, add fingering notes, annotate techniques. Save your version and come back to it any time.

Why JumpTabs™

Every other tab app makes you transcribe. We don't.

  • No editing — what you see is what you get

  • Works with any music you have — lessons, purchases, archives
  • Unlimited library — if you have the sheet music, you have the tab
  • Consistent, algorithm-driven fret position mapping
  • Fully playable tab file with speed control and looping

FAQ

Questions about JumpTabs™

What sheet music formats does JumpTabs™ accept?

JumpTabs™ accepts PDF files, JPG and PNG image scans, and standard MusicXML files. If you can photograph or scan your sheet music, JumpTabs™ can read it.

How accurate is the automatic conversion?

Accuracy depends on the clarity of the source sheet music. Clean, professionally printed notation converts with high accuracy. Handwritten or low-quality scans may require some manual correction using the built-in editor.

Is it just for guitar?

Guitar at launch — 6-string standard tuning with alternate tunings to follow. Bass, ukulele, and banjo are on the roadmap. The underlying conversion engine is instrument-agnostic, so expansion is planned.

Can I edit the tab after it's generated?

Yes — JumpTabs™ includes a full tab editor. You can move notes to different strings, adjust fret positions, add technique markings, and annotate fingering. Your edits are saved with your version of the tab.

Will it work with copyrighted sheet music I've purchased?

JumpTabs™ converts sheet music you upload for your personal practice use. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use the material you upload. JumpTabs does not store or share your uploaded sheet music.

Is JumpTabs™ a web app or a desktop app?

Both are planned — a web app for immediate access and a desktop version for offline use. The web app will launch first.

When does JumpTabs™ launch?

JumpTabs™ is actively in development by JumpStacks™ Software. Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know when early access opens.
