Question:
Glissando on a piano. Can I assign to "gliss" only on the white keys? You know how difficult it is to do a gliss also on the black keys, if not completely impossible to perform in most cases. The notation program Overture has this feature. Also one can assign the moment a glissando starts. I didn't find this in Notion. When present it can enrich the perfomance dramatically (e.g. trombones, clarinets, even strings).

Re: Glissando
I was under the impression that Notion's "default" was to only gliss on the white keys. Is this not the case with what you're hearing? Every time I've used a piano gliss (admittedly, only a handful of times) the gliss sounded like just the white keys.

Re: Glissando
The piano gliss already should be just white keys, that's correct.

Didn't try it yet, maybe it is true, but I wondered why I couldn't set any property of the behaviour, or am I overlooking something?

Re: Glissando
Raymond,
The gliss sign automatically defaults to the type of instrument:
1. Piano - white keys only
2. Harp - harp tuning (or current key)
3. Chromatic Brass and Winds (non-slides) - chromatic pitches
4. Strings and Trombones - slides (pitch shift)
Thus, the gliss is attempting to most accurately represent the instrument it is placed on.
Hope this helps

I searched the manual and couldn't find this great solution. Maybe I used the wrong search argument. Highlight this and other "for me still hidden features" a bit more under a chapter "Strength of Notion 3"
Much obliged,
Raymond
