Pitch Bend
Is there a way to prevent a Pitch Bend from automatically returning to the original pitch? I would like to include a jazz/swing band effect called a drop, i.e., the player starts playing the original note, but portamento-like, drops the pitch of the note, either with diminuendo (disappearing altogether), or simply targeting the next contiguous pitch as a landing place.
I have tried GraphOver Notes > Draw Curve, but at the end of the curve, it automatically returns to the original pitch. I also get the same problem drawing a line, because when I erase the PB beyond the target note, the PB returns to the original pitch.
I would prefer not to code 64th note triplets to get this effect, as it really messes up the score, but this is the only way I have discovered to try to simulate this effect.
If I could create this drop effect, I could also reverse the direction for a doit (pronounced doYt), where the horn player simulates an upward portamento that includes a fast diminuendo.
I hope this makes sense. It truly is a jazz band effect.
