Accordion gliss

• Jan 28, 2019 - 03:16

I've been 95% successful in entering my accordion arrangement of "God Bless America" and am mostly pleased. I haven't managed, however, to find how to notate a gliss. Do you have any method for doing that? Please e-mail me with any instruction you might have.

                                                                                Thanks,
                                                                                Georgina Carr

If you're talking about how to put the "Gliss" symbol into your accordion score, you have to select the note where you want to put the "Gliss", then you go to the "Arpeggios and Glissando" palette (you have to select "Advance Studio Palettes" at the button of the Palettes column) and double click on the Symbol. That's all!

But... Other very different thing is to get the real glissando sound from the MuseScore Synthesizer. You will get something like this, but... Remember it is just a machine. It is not a real human player.

Mmm...

I'm not complain against MuseScore with this, but...

It is just a machine!!! There will be always differences between this and the human real playing.

Whatever, I like the today gliss options.

The only one thing I would add, would be a not linear duration of each note involved inside the glissando (which is something typical in human voice and general interpretation), despite the general tempo. A good example: the typical "A... a... a... ave, A... a... a... ave, Ave Maria" Each glissando doesn't have an exactly tempo duration and/or execution. That's what we hear that as... "human" and "alive". The machine could do that using random additional time on each note.

Just a personal taste.

Juan, I realize you will never get playback like a real human, I don't think that will ever be a goal of the program. My point was that on an accordion a human has to play each note, which is what MuseScore always does even on a trombone, violin or voice.
