Default Translating guitar tabs to reason piano roll?

I've looked on this forum before posting this and I only found one thread about this, which didn't really help me out.

So my question;
How do you translate guitar tabs like this:
Db|------------7-12/-15-12--------------------------14-17-19-15-------|
Ab|----------8-------------13--------------------15-------------------|
E |--------9------------------12--------------14----------------------|
B |------9-----------------------14-10/-12-16-------------------------|
Gb|-7-10--------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

To the reason piano roll? I've tried using the convertor on tabnabber (I can't seem to post a link :/)

But the output wasn't very clear :/ (Db, Ab, etc.. I don't know to what it corresponds in Reason (it only has C as far as I know).

Sorry if I didn't made myself clear but (knowing I'm not English speaking) I didn't know how to put my problem into words.

Thanks for those who will try and help.

Greetings,
Achantion

The problem here is that the string tuning used in your song is Db-Ab-E-B-Gb-Db instead of the standard E-B-G-D-A-E, and tabnapper only works with standard tuning. As it is, its output is garbage.

Luckily, it's just the standard tuning lowered by 3 semitones (frets). So, all you need to do is change your tabs to standard tuning, and in the Capo/Transpose field, enter -3.

e|------------7-12/-15-12--------------------------14-17-19-15-------|
b|----------8-------------13--------------------15-------------------|
g|--------9------------------12--------------14----------------------|
d|------9-----------------------14-10/-12-16-------------------------|
a|-7-10--------------------------------------------------------------|
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is what you get:

5|---------------C---e--C---------------------------D--F--G--e--------|-
4|---------C-e-G-----------a--e--C---------D--F--b--------------------|-
3|--C-e--G--------------------------a---b-----------------------------|-

Now you can enter them into Reason. Capital letters are sharps (black keys), you can look up the table here:
