anyone have the sequenza handy and can cross-ref?

ok, i thought that there was a salzedo-sanctioned notaton for this.
the composer has said to block the pedal at natural(^) or natural(v),
but if i understood chris right, these would produce two different
pitches, either b or nat but never sharp? this means that there is a
"breaking point" in the gliss where it shifts to the upper or lower
note, correct?
there are two things here, for me. the playing and resulting sound.
it might be justified to have a symbol (artic) to indicate that the
sound buzzes, e.g. the Z on the stem sometimes used to indicate
extremely fast tremolo. a friend mentioned that he thinks the Z is
in fact used...
i am thinking -- in fact proposing -- that using a 1/4 sharp or 1/4
flat (maybe plus the Z-buzz symbol) would make sense as the standard
notation that should be used for this. it would in this particular
case. with 1/4-tone notation there is at least a half truth in the
notation -- it specifically represent the "do", if but not the "hear"
notation, because the actual 1/4-tone pitches do not really sound --
while a slashed accidental has no other standard notational meaning
and is therefore entirely ambiguous without further explanation.
While there is admittedly no standard, in my *Handbook of
Instrumentation* (p. 324) I recommend notating the lower pitch and
adding a slashed accidental beneath the note--for example, a Gb with
a slashed natural beneath it. I think this would be understood w.o
explanation.
