Default Re: GP6: Slide in middle of a note

Hi, MacNab:

I'm curious as to what the "GP6" at the beginning of the title means.

In Notation Composer, there is a "Lines" item in the main pallette that will let you add graphic elements that will indicate either a glissando or a portamento.

To get both a clear notation and a useful sounding playback, set the first and last notes of the slide in your displayed track, along with the appropriate item from the Lines pallete, then create a second, hidden track on the same midi channel that contains whatever notes you need to create the effect of the slide on your playback device. The notes on the displayed track can have a velocity of zero, so all that is heard is from the unseen, hidden track.

Hope that helps.

David
