Add Guitar Pickslides
I've checked out a thread on it and it seems there is no guitar pickslide options in notation.

Could you pint to a reference showing the specific notation you have in mind? If it's something in use in published music, the symbols should exist in the Symbols palette (press "Z" to display) if nothing else, but most common ones I can think of can be found in various places on the standard palette as well.

From what I know, in tablature its and x with a slide up or down. For example...
-
x/
x/
x/
or
-
x\
x\
x\
The direction of the slide dependent on which way the scrape/slide goes. Up is usually towards the neck while down is usually towards the bridge.
Sometimes, there are notes to denote scape/slide speed. From what I know, there isn't really a way to differ between scrapes and slides other than with context or a foot note.
I usually write in ghost notes (x in tablature) with the x note head, but it doesn't give you the same sound. So I think a x note head and the slide up/down would be a good indicator for a pick scrape/slide.
To do this, just select the note your want your scrape/slide on, go into the inspect, change the head group to cross, go to the pallets, search slide, and pick the appropriate symbol (might be in advanced pallets).
For some maybe not clear info, scrapes are around the strumming/plucking part of the instrument (think Tool) while slides go across the entire neck (Think Van Halen).
