I'm composing a jazz piece and I need to add a fall at the end. How do I make a fall?
There are several charcters in Lawire Pardy's "Swing Dings" fonts, specifically "f" and "g" in SwingDings.ttf, which can be downloaded here: http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful.html#Fonts (http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful.html#Fonts)
MIDIwise, use a pitch bend or put the notes on a hidden playback staff.
Thank you, Rick. This now gives me the opportunity to answer in another way:
Q. "How do you make a fall?"
A. "Same way you make a summer."
or...
Q. "How do you make a fall?"
A. "I always use the banana-peel method. For great falls, ask Humpty Dumpty."
and... but no, that's quite enough, methinks.
Rob.
That, or just doit (http://bands.army.mil/masterclass/tusafb/dec2000/jazz.htm#special) in reverse ...
