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

    Hi, I am a musician (thought almost entirely with using bass clef). I’m not sure I understand what you are transcribing. Are you trying to change the song into a different key, or are you just trying to write out the song as it would be in sheet music?

    And just for full disclosure, I am not familiar with this song, so I can’t comment on the accuracy of it how it’s written

      I’m trying to transcribe it just as it is, no key change. I have the isolated vocal track of this song i’m trying to transcribe as a reference, shame i don’t have a way to send it
