    This will tell TuxGuitar to save the file in the GP5 format. You can also select from earlier versions, such as Guitar Pro 3.

    By default, it will save to the same location as the original.

    A new copy of the GPX file will be created at the location you specified with the GP5 extension instead. The original file will not be modified.
