Notion seems to require a slide to be placed after a note or between notes and will not notate a slide from no particular note to a specific note,

It's very common for guitar players to play a very, very short slide or bending to reach the tone on the beat. One could say it's a bending or a slide from a gracenate to the "main" note. Inspite of trying hard I found no solution for this.

I'm using the Notion 6 demo version to evaluate it.  I was just going to ask the same question because I couldn't figure out how to do it.  Seems like something easy to add to the next version, please!  Very common guitar technique.

Hello,

Yes, it will be very useful to add short slide (rise or fall) before the note without be linked to another rest or note.

Will be very appreciated for trombone notation.

Best regards.
