Gliss on multiple notes/chords

[pcartwright]

I wanted to throw this out into the forum before I made a feature request. Is there a way (besides using multiple voices) of creating a glissando for a chord? When I try to add gliss to multiple notes only the bottom note is responsive. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Shift A for a spread chord (up but no specific arrow)
Shift A A for a spread chord (up)
Shift A A A for a spread chord (down)

Shift L for a glissando (played as a portamento)
Shift L L for a portamento (played as a portamento)

It's all in the middle icon of the entry palette with the tr symbol on it.

I understand how to add glissando and such, but I'm asking if it can be applied to more than one note without having to use voices 2, 3, and/or 4.

As it stands, when I add glissando it only applies to the bottom note of a chord (please see picture).

As you can see, adding glissando only adds the notation for one pair of notes (and that's the only pair that plays a glissando).

Any suggestions?

Hi pcartwright,

To get all three notes of a chord to do a gliss in playback, try having their notes in different voices then attach a gliss per each voice (don't forget to use the Ctrl+1 or Ctrl+2 etc to specify a voice for the gliss as well)

This will gliss all the notes.

Hope this helps

Would creating a seperate staff that sent additional MIDI data to the original staff also work?

For example, a G and a B that gliss upward to a F and an A:

- The original track would gliss from G to F
- The second track has a gliss from B to A sends its data to the original track

Yes, this should work, if I'm understanding you correctly.
