The GPX file contains musical notation created in Guitar Pro 6. Previously, files were encoded differently. Now, GPX uses compression. Uncompressed, it has XML files rendering bars, tracks, voices, beats and notes. A GPX file has no audio data. But it has metadata to generate audio.
A GPX file can also be a musical score with composition for instruments. It is in a proprietary format from Guitar Pro 6 or 7. The screenshot shows it open in Guitar Pro 7.6. Over the years, Guitar Pro added features to become a music sheet editor. Version 6 and the GPX format debuted in April 2010.
You can only open a GPX file with Guitar Pro. It is a tabulature editor with tools for guitarists. The GPX file format is compressed, introduced in Guitar Pro 6. It represents the default project format. Previous versions cannot open these. But backwards compatibility is coming. Guitar Pro will save as older GP5 format too.
