Bends

• Dec 29, 2020 - 16:45

Hi,

Is there any way to:

  1. Delete text from bends?
  2. Make the bend sound from a lower note rather than from the original note to a higher one?

Thanks

Hmm...
Isn't "from the original note to a higher one" the same as "from a lower note"?

Why not regard the lower note as the original, and then bend it up? This way, the bend will "sound from a lower note" as you want.
So...
For example, notate a C and it will bend up to D upon clicking (full) bend in the palette.
If you think about this, it's the same as D (higher note) getting bent up from C (lower note).

That's what I did, but only for me to hear what will sound. For the player, if I notate it like that, it wouldn't make any sense actually.

What I meant is that if there was any way of making the bend sound from a lower note to the original and that its notation would actually mean it in a proper way.

O.K. then...
Does it not sound the way it is written? ...how does the notation not make sense? ...or do you wish to notate it differently for the same playback?

Please attach an example of such bend and explain what you wish to hear and how you wish to see it notated.
(If necessary, substitute written notes in place of the bend that you are having trouble notating.)

P.S.: For what instrument are you writing?

EDIT:
Ahh...
If you wish to 'slide into' a note (like a trombone slide) from below (using the bend) see:

O.K.... solved?

If you need specific help, please attach a score, or example, explaining exactly what your requirements are.
(The "fix to line" was used in my 'trombone' example, which was pure conjecture.)

So...
For instance, provide detailed info. like what type sax, what key, what note(s) you are bending, what octave those note(s) are in, whether they are half step "slide into", whole step "slide into", note duration, etc.
