Could you build this?
Partial While open-source libraries exist for Guitar Pro and MusicXML parsing, accurately converting ASCII text tabs and inferring rhythm from monospace spacing requires complex heuristic parsing and music theory algorithmic work.
What it would actually take: The core requires a dedicated music parsing engine built with Python, C++, or Rust that tokenizes non-standardized ASCII tablature, detects measures, notes, and fret-to-pitch mappings. The hard part is the rhythm inference algorithm, which must handle variable font spacing, irregular measure lengths, and map them to standard MusicXML or VexFlow musical notation with rhythmic integrity. Deep domain knowledge in digital musicology, music engraving rules, and formal grammar/parsing is required.
