Are there generic names for sliding into a note from above, or sliding out of a note to a higher pitch?
In English, the term "scoop" seems fairly common for sliding into a note from below, and "fall-off" for sliding out of a note to a lower pitch. But slides from or to higher pitches seem less common, so the terminology also seems less standard. I've heard "doit" for sliding out of a note to a higher pitch, but not as commonly used as scoop and fall-off.
I'm looking for terms that are not specific to guitar bends, which have their own technical terminology.
We want to add support for these types of slides in the next version of MusicXML. So we need some names to use for them within MusicXML. If there's a good reference in this area, that would also be appreciated. The references we have here tend to be either classically oriented or guitar oriented, and not really on point to this question.
Thanks very much for any assistance you can offer!
