@Tantacrul - I forgot about this; another regression I reported a bit ago that may have slipped through the cracks

[Tantacrul]

Unfortunately not. This one has been left until 4.x because the mechanism for getting them to follow the graph in the inspector needs to be completely rewritten. We just can't use the older system at all. I'll bump to 4.x for now. Will reopen when 4.0 is out.

Thanks!

[MarcSabatella]

Understood; I guess that's a similar reason as why glissando/portamento no longer has the ease in/out controls? Neither is a huge deal to me personally

[Tantacrul]

Do bear in mind, we have a lot of comments to get through :)

We are currently discussing the next steps for guitar bends, dives, improvements to notation and tab, as well as new sounds too :)

Our short term focus for this year will be both Guitar and Percussion.

Hi Tantacrul, thanks for the great work:
1.) in Musescore 3 the graph editor for the bend was only for upwards bends, it would make a lot of sense to have the possibility to bend in both directions (up + down)
2.) some people need octave bends others microtonal bends, it would be great if the resolution could be adjusted, as for example Logic Pro does for pitch bend.
3.) the system with x/y (time/pitch) axis and the ability to insert points was great.

[Tantacrul]

Yes. This is a really big one on our radar. We're going to be tackling this in 4.2 I would say. In 4.1, we're hitting a few other guitar issues first.

Don't worry though - it's coming this year.

Yu can easily make a down bend. Say you want a full bend down, then move the note down a full note on the score. Click on the note and F8. In the bend graph drag the start blue dot a full note above the bottom axis . Then go across to right and make the end blue dot on the bottom axis. If you want a 2 note bend, then move the note in the score down two notes and make the start blue dot up two notes, and put the end blue dot on the bottom axis.

I'm going to close this issue now that the new bends system has been implemented.
