If you only want to change the tablature to note with no tablature:

Open the Instruments by pressing i
Select the Dropdown on the right side to the right of the guitar and select standard (rather than one that starts Tab.)
Click OK and it's done.

If you still want to see the tablature also:

Open the Instruments by pressing i
Select Staff 1 under the instrument you want to add the standard staff
Click "Add Linked Staff" in the middle of the box near the bottom.
Click the Dropdown on the staff where you want the standard staff and select Standard rather than one that starts Tab. Note: It does not matter which staff you make standard except the order they will be displayed. If you prefer the tablature on the bottom, make the top staff Standard and so forth, MuseScore will enter the proper notes/tablature.

Oh, it a guitar written on two staves. If the notes are on the correct staves and otherwise correct then you can go into Style->General->Page and increase the distance Grand staff distance.

With the exception of possibly increasing the Grand staff distance, everything else is supposed to import correctly for all version up to GP 7. If this is not the case, it seems you have found a bug and there are people who would want to fix it. Did you export the file from GP to xml then import it or did you directly import a GP file?

I deleted all the tracks except I want on Guitar PRO 5 then exported it as a "xml" file.

The tab is on one staff on Guitar PRO not on two staves.

Then opened it on MuseScore.

I increased the space between Grand Staff. It still looks like a mess.

I tried to import it to MuseScore because when I try to transpose on Guitar PRO somewhat the musical intervals between notes are spoiled. So the notes looks like wrong although Guitar PRO play them right. To be able to play they on my piano I tried this method.

1) Can I put all of those notes in one staff? How?

2) May there be another method?

3) Could you report this whom in charge?

1) I right-click on the tablature staff choose "Staff Properties"

2) Change Instrument - Piano (Then there comes up question marks where tab numbers exist!!)

3) Press "I" - Keyboards - Piano - Add - OK (Now 2 empty piano staves are added!)

How to do that?
