[JWplugins] Name question: Messa di voce

[KennethKen at aol.com]

Well, know I know what "Messa di voce" means. :-) It is highly accurate in  
describing the function of the plug-in and I'm now unlikely to forget what  
it means. In that sense I think it's ok to use (took 5 seconds on google to 
 find the definition).
 
If you want to use something that requires less than 5 seconds of effort on 
 the part of the user you could use "Single Pitch Swells" (or "Single Note  
Swells").
 
The "Single Pitch" part addresses the question that Vaughan and other users 
 may have about applying the swell over multiple notes vs a single note. 
"Pitch"  also has an advantage over "Note" in that is naturally implies that 
tied  notes will be interpreted as a single entry. The "Swell" part (since it 
would  located in the Dynamic container) makes it clear that you're talking 
about  dynamics.
 
The advantage using the word "Hairpin" (as in "Hairpin Swells") has is that 
 it clearly refers to notation. Without that a user may think this function 
is  only a midi or volume control editor. But "Single Note Hairpin Swells" 
sounds a  bit labored. Maybe the plugin name "JW Patterns" is enough to 
indicate  visual patterns only. Are there any non-notational patterns in the  
plugin (e.g., "late exponential accel", "linear rit.", "early exponential 
volume  controller #7 increase", late exponential key velocity increase, etc.). 
HP  doesn't always produce the most convincing HP :-) and a plugin to edit  
common of "performance patterns" would be welcome by those making demos.
 
Would the plugin name "JW Notational Patterns" be more specific?

Hello!

I have a task in a plug-in currently named "Messa di  voce", that 
creates "< >" hairpins on single long  notes.

Would that be OK as a name for this task, or would it be  confusing? Is 
there a better name available? (The task is not specific to  vocal music.)


Best regards,

Jari  Williamsson
