What is a PT2 file?
A PT2 file stores guitar tablature created by Power Tab Editor 2, a program that allows musicians to write and share tablature. It contains information on how to play a musical piece, including finger positions, musical notes, and timing, and may also include detailed musical notation, lyrics, and song notes.
More Information
Brad Larsen initially developed and released Power Tab Editor in the late 1990s. The program became popular among guitarists and bassists, but he eventually ceased development of it in the early 2000s. However, members of the Power Tab community began developing a successor after acquiring its source code and eventually released Power Tab Editor 2.
NOTE: The first version of Power Tab Editor saved tablature in the .PTB format until version 1.7. However, PowerTab Editor 2 replaced the PTB format with PT2.
