Yes indeed… I neither meant to deepen these terms, though any focus is always welcome to, even if a bit hi-jacked from the initial topic.. Moreover, I own a degree in history and philosophy, as well as a master archive science, music theory is not in my cv, I never studied it! Music merely helps me to compensate the rationality efforts involved in the readings.

Although, I do believe that the Trombone example found in Wikipedia is the correct one. The true glissando is the one performed by human voice, fretless instruments (cello, violin…) and the trombone itself.

As for the original matter in this post, I definitely got that, if a quantization is applied (a scale is set), then there’s no (logical) way to have continuous pitch within the scale intervals. Aut-aut: Or-Or. It’s the Boolean logic that I have to deepen! :-)

Thanks everybody for participation..

Best,

Diego
