I have TuxGuitar and MuseScore. I have several formats in TuxGuitar including its .tg and most of the Guitar Pro formats, GP3 - GP5 and GPX.

The Guitar Pro formats are recognized by MuseScore, that's good. The .tg format can be converted to GP formats and work fine.

I also have .ptb (Power Tabs). These are not in the formats recognized by MuseScore. Since MuseScore recognizes GP formats, I tried converting the .ptb format to a GP5 format and also tried converting .ptb to .tg and then to GP5. In both of these cases the MuseScore crashed with the following message.

'This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.'

Will there ever be a way to get .ptb format into MuseScore either by conversion or directly? How about the .tg (TuxGuitar) format directly?

But as to the question, will MuseScore be extended to support other proprietary formats - not very likely. We focus on MusicXML as the most universal format and openly documented there is, but provide limited support for a couple of the most popular proprietary formats.
