I’m kind of training myself to transcribe music (and learning musical notation in the way) so I’ve wanted to learn all that by transcribing a pop song. (Also, i’m doing this because of a karaoke project i want to make)
The problem is, i’m at the chorus and idk how it should be transcribed, should i use slurs at the “healthy, not me” or are these glissandos? Also, are grace notes ok in this part?
Since i can’t upload audio, let me say that the source of the transcription is the chorus of “good 4 u” by Olivia Rodrigo
Any other tips are welcome too
[EDIT] Yeah i know it’s missing a note in “Not” in the first picture… It should be making the glissando to the next note… I’ll add it if needed
[EDIT 2] Maybe i can send a better reference of what i want to transcribe… Here’s some gameplay of Rock Band which transcribes the vocals i want into a MIDI of some sort
I’m relatively new to this also, but here’s my take…
I looked at 2 transcriptions I found, listened to the chorus a few times, and tried what you had on my piano vs what the transactions had.
I think it’s better without a slur or glissando. The “hap-py, heal-thy” doesn’t seem to have any legato in the recording, not quite staccato, but the notes sound articulated separately in the B - E - B - E to me.
The transcriptions just have those 4 notes as 1/4 notes, and I feel that is correct.
