Is their any other substitute of cream of tartar?
If you do not have cream of tartar, baking powder will work just as well, or better. If the recipe calls for both cream of tartar and baking soda, leave out the soda if you use baking powder - it already has soda in it.

Not really. Cream of tartar is a weak acid. You may want to try an equal amount of vinegar as a substitute. Cream of tartar does improve elasticity and dough smoothness. It is worthwhile to purchase cream of tartar. Doug dougthecook.com
What are substitutes for cream of tartar?
I have been informed that baking powder is 1/4 baking soda & 5/8 cream of tartar the rest being made up of various other ingredients. Baking soda by itself is no good as it is alkaline and you need an acid so, depending on the recipe, you could try lemon juice, white vinegar or buttermilk.

What would you put baking soda in?
Baking soda is a leavening agent and is used in many different types of baked goods. Many cookie recipes call for baking soda rather than baking powder. Recipe's such as Red Velvet Cake and some chocolate cakes also call for baking soda, some along with baking powder, some as the only leavening agent. Baking soda combined with equal amounts of cornstarch and twice as much cream of tartar can be used to replace baking powder. Use about one-quarter the amount of baking soda as the recipe calls for baking powder, and then scale the corn starch and cream of tartar accordingly.

You can add some baking powder, but it's not an ideal substitute; baking powder is a mixture of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and cream of tartar. This means you need to add slightly more than is baking powder than the quantity suggested for baking soda; usually around 1/4 teaspoon on top of the quantity suggested for bicarb.
How can you Substitue cream of tartar in meringues?
I'm not positive. The reverse substitution is for 1 tsp. of baking powder, you use 1/4-1/2 tsp. of baking soda and 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar.

If there is supposed to be baking soda and cream of tartar in the recipe and you substituted baking powder, that would be more likely to succeed.

Baking powder is a mix of baking soda a base and either citric or cream of tartar as a acid to create a chemical reaction that leavens by creating air bubbles.

What is a substitution for baking powder?
Bicarbonate of soda mixed with cream of tartar (this mixture is essentially what baking powder is comprised of). I believe the ratio is meant to be 1:3 bicarb to cream of tartar to make baking powder. Otherwise, there are no substitutes, but using self-raising flour may help slightly (depending on the recipe).
