I'm not familiar with guitar pro, but if it helps, NWC is primarily a music notation product.

You might want to search for guitar in the window in the upper right for places the instrument has been discussed here. This is a recent thread on creating guitar chords and you can also search here for an excellent NWC resource (Scriptorium).

As Lawrie said, NWC is used for music notation and it can handle guitar music. Create a treble clef, press F2 and, under instrument, choose guitar and transpose down -12 and you're good to go.

While you can modify a treble clef to transpose down an octave, the "8" usually isn't shown like it would be for the tenor part in choral music for example.
