Guitar string bends in staff notation
Hi
Is there any way of notating a string bend in notation so it shows a acciaccatura for the starting pitch joined by an angled line to a quarter note (or whatever) of the final pitch (ie the note it is bent to) - the way it is in Sibelius?
I don't want to show the just the pitch the note is bent from, plus a 'full' and arrow symbol, as this only makes sense to guitarists, and I want the pitches to be correct when played on anything. Also, if the bend is from a note that is not bent, which is then bent up without repicking, an angled line is much clearer than alternatives.
Thank you
