pianistboy Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Okay, so I have a piece for flute and I want the intonation on a note to go down and then back up again. It doesn't go down enough to be a different note. Any idea how to notate this ie. if there is a symbol or something. Help would be great! Thanks!

robinjessome Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'd write it as a 'scoop' or 'bend' ... with a 'u' shaped articulation (Finale #53) just after the note, perhaps even with a plain english explanation: "bend pitch down". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianistboy Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Okay, I'll try that, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardener Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 If you want to be very precise you can of course write it with quarter-tones (or even finer microtones) and glissandi, otherwise I'd do what Robin suggested, or maybe just show it graphically with a line that goes down a bit and then up again after the note and write "pitch bend" above it (sorry if that's exactly what Robin meant).

Perhaps your line is straight, while mine is more bendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardener Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Wouldn't we have claimed that our lines are straight in that case? I think "My lines are never straight" is about as asexual as you can get! The pope could have said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pope could have said it. I mean, it's just non-heterosexual. It could be asexual, but it's more likely homosexual. :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
