Jacki,

I think what you want is what jazz musicians call a fall-off. There are symbols for that in the Jazz font and in Bill Duncan's new articulations font. Short of that, you can use a downward glissando symbol at an angle around 45° extending about a quarter of an inch after the note, and most singers will know what you mean. What you are hearing is a common enough gesture.

Hi, Everyone - I'm doing a vocal arrangement in Finale 2005b Mac, and I'm wondering what the proper symbol would be for a "slide" down in the vocals - a slight drop in pitch but not really notes...?

Thanks for any tips!

Jacki
