Hi Federico and Davide,

In English we use the Italian work portamento when singers or players
want to scoop between notes.

Aren't "doit" and "fall" forms of portamento without a define
start/end note?

"Doit" (pron do-it) is a portamento up to the notated pitch, "Fall" is
a portamento down from the notated pitch (hence "falling" off the note.

HTH

Cheers,

Ian
