Here are the jazz articulations I use.

They are not terrible, but not good either, and they don't match the
consistency of Maestro. I haven't been able to figure out how to get
the handle positions set on the first two so that they will be placed
automatically, so entering them is always a clumsy process. The third
one places itself correctly. I'd prefer a scoop symbol that was a
little longer - approximating the horizontal length of the fall-off,
and a fall off that curved a little more, and though I like relatively
bold looking notation, these are a little too bold in proportion to
other elements. I'm sure Christopher and Darcy will weigh in on this,
and I welcome their input.
Chuck,
There will always be a problem placing non-centred articulations like a
fall or scoop, because the horizontal positioning works from your click
point. If you are a millimetre too far left, then the articulation will
be, too. The bend places correctly every time because it has the box
checked "Centre over note", which cannot be checked for the scoops and
falls.
The bend is a reasonable match I think, though it still looks a bit
"crafted" for Maestro. The other two are ridiculously bold for the
delicate head and stem of the Maestro notes, but you could always
reduce the point size of those articulations to make them less bold,
and at the same time smaller (so you might have to choose a different
character to make it look the same length.)
But to match Maestro perfectly, this will take some of Bill's magic...
Christopher
