  • Flute 1 Extended - Long Portato in Sibelius

    Hi

    I noticed that the long portato patch is not a default patch in the Sibelius for Flute 1 Extended. Of course it is possible to just put it in a custom cell in VI PRO and use the custom text command to trigger it but I also think that portato medium should be in cell B2 because at tempo 100 it triggers on quarter notes making them sound like 8th note portatos. So I am wondering if it might be better putting portato long on B1 and portato medium in B2? I am of course free to do this change myself but the question is if it might be worth including in the Sibelius preset for flute 1 extended (I don't know about the other full instruments).

    I have included a Sibelius file. Compare the result using the default sibelius preset and then changing B1 to portato long (non vib seems to be more appropriate for most situations) and medium portato in B2.

  • Hello J.Hall!

    Thanks for your suggestion. I'll think about it.
