Modified TuxGuitar for Reaper Notation
Version 1.0.0.0.1
Hartley Mays
February 13, 2010
Installation:
1. You must have a Java 1.6 JRE (or JDK) installed on your system. If you don't already have it,
download from the Sun java website:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
2. Download the TuxGuitar .rar file from the Misc section of the Reaper stash:
https://stash.reaper.fm/v/4709/TuxGuitarMod021210.rar
3. Extract the complete folder on your pc whereever you want to. The resulting folder structure should
have folders "dist" and "share", and "tuxedo.exe" within folder TuxGuitarMod021210.
4. Bring up the Preferences Window in Reaper,scroll to the bottom, and select "External Editors".
Assuming you don't currently have something set up for midi editing, use the "Add"
button, and create an entry for "mid" (NOT ".mid") files. Use the browse option to point to the
"tuxedo.exe" file in the extracted project folder. Select OK a couple of times to save the
updated Preference setting.
5. This completes the installation.
Usage Notes:
1. Right click on a midi item, position the cursor on the "open item in Midi Editor option, and then
select either "open item with tuxedo.exe" or "open item copies with tuxedo.exe". This should start
TuxGuitar.
2. A Dos console window will open which will have all the system output. If you have a problem, please
copy it to help in problem determination.
3. You'll also get a splash screen about joining the TuxGuitar community. You can check a box on this
screen to not see it again, after deciding whether you want to join.
4. The midi item you selected in Reaper should now show in the staff at the top of the TuxGuitar window.
You can adjust the size of it by expanding the window vertically and then dragging the bottom edge of
the score portion downward so that more of it is visible. You can also use the View menu item to
control which of the other views such as tablature you Want to show on the screen. You can change
which clef is used by selecting Composition -> Clef from the menu.
5. Use the Help menu item to view HTML pages that contain detailed information about how to use
the score editor and other features if you're interested.
6. You can update the midi file by making changes on the score, following the directions in the Help f
file.
7. The changes can be saved back to Reaper by selecting File -> Export Midi. It does not happen
automatically when you close the TuxGuitar window for now.
8. When you close the TuxGuitar window, you'll be asked about unsaved changes. If you want to, you can
save the item in native tuxguitar format at this point. It will have a .tg extension. However,
you must close this instance of tuxguitar before proceding with editing another item in your Reaper
project. This is a limitation that the socket communication will address if we proceed forward with
the TuxGuitar editor.
9. You end the session by closing either the console window or the TuxGuitar window.
Changelog

And if the program button icons do not show for you, see post 31 in this thread for the solution. That is what I did, and it worked.
