Guys,
1) It's not my piece, and the composer wants a (wavy) gliss line. The
only issue is whether it's necessary to add the text "black key gliss"
or not.
2) If I wrote it out, the player's first instinct would be to finger
the notes instead of playing it as a key rip. It would also imply a
degree of accuracy that is not intended and is not desirable.
Seriously, it's a piano gliss! We already have a perfectly good way of
notating that. My only question is whether it is generally understood
that glisses that start on white notes are played as white note
glisses, and glisses that start on black notes are played as black
note glisses.
Cheers,
- Darcy

I would also write it out, note for note.
Depending on what's around it, the gliss. might be able to only go
so far because of what's around it / what's coming on the next
beat / can the pianist's hand shift that quickly to the next
register...

I specified black key gliss -- and got all sorts of nasty dumped on
me.
And there was blood on the keys. The pianist finally said to write
it out,
every note.
Not sure if that helps at all. But that was the end of the blood. :)
