Open Question: How do I get a realistic glissando in sibelius?
I am currently running Sibelius 5 with Kontact, sibelius sound essentials audio library. However when i add a glissando it sounds like a portamento during play back. As I use the sibelius playback and sound essentials as a method of submission for assessment it is crucial that the playback sounds like the way its written.
NB: Glissando means a consecutive stream of semitones, ie. running your finger along the keys on a piano. Portamento means a continuous pitch change ie. strumming a string on a guitar then running your finger continuously along that string on the fretboard.
Any help will be much appreciated.
