Tam-Tam Glissando
I saw that in a score (again):
And wrote this:
But anyway- could tam-tam glissandos work in playback... like tremolos or trills (Idk which is the correct)? It's nothing major but perhaps could be done.... adding stuff in a 2nd voice and turning everything invisible bothers me for some reason, like.. too much traffic.

Well, scrap that I suppose.
If we saw this text as a "tremolo", it was okay.
But glissando is something different.
Maybe you can try it as in the picture below.
Perhaps something else is meant there.
But try it anyway. If it doesn't work, it will be fun.
I'm not a percussionist so I didn't look close enough at the notation. I just noticed is says to use the triangle stick, which usually has a ring near the end of it from what I've seen. Perhaps this is instructions to drag the stick down the tam-tam (like from the center to the outside edge). I don't know what else it might mean. I think Ziya is probably on the right track with the bend to approximate the effect.

The composer said in a rehearsal that the percussionist must "make a circle" meaning he has to do a circular movement with the sticks. In a sense.. it's how it works with instruments that can do a glissando... I mean that you see similar movements... With the only difference that it's a circular one.
It's rite of Spring btw

So use a shape like ^ (upside-down V) in Bend properties.

What is that... Piano roll editor? >.> I'm really useless at that stuff.... I haven't even seen those before..
By the way the fact you make a circle doesn't mean anything... It should be 1 sound with a big value but only crescending in volume.

The first picture Ziya showed had the bend in the palette highlighted on the left so you would know what to add while the right side shows the inspector as it appears when you select the bend in the score. The line design in the last picture has been edited to indicate how to make it look in the inspector.

Yes... Though what is the articulation? I've never seen it... Is it for editing the playback of the note?

That articulation is a bend. It's in the advanced articulations palette.

I would probably put a tremolo on it with a pedal mark both of these should be made invisible for notation but it will cause the tam-tam sound to get louder. It's a weird workaround I use for cymbals that should work on a tam-tam.

Well it shouldn't exactly sound like individual hits... But a "hit" that has a huge value..

The pedal smooths out the sound of the tremolo and the crescendo is a side effect if the note is long enough.

Eeeh ok will try it, thanks again.
