Notation for an intonation drop

Okay, so I have a piece for flute and I want the intonation on a note to go down and then back up again. It doesn't go down enough to be a different note. Any idea how to notate this ie. if there is a symbol or something. Help would be great! Thanks!

I'd write it as a 'scoop' or 'bend' ... with a 'u' shaped articulation (Finale #53) just after the note, perhaps even with a plain english explanation: "bend pitch down".

Okay, I'll try that, thanks!

If you want to be very precise you can of course write it with quarter-tones (or even finer microtones) and glissandi, otherwise I'd do what Robin suggested, or maybe just show it graphically with a line that goes down a bit and then up again after the note and write "pitch bend" above it (sorry if that's exactly what Robin meant).

:P Pretty much! Perhaps your line is straight, while mine is more bendy.

My lines are never straight!

I sense homoerotic tension?

So do I, baby.

Wouldn't we have claimed that our lines are straight in that case?

I think "My lines are never straight" is about as asexual as you can get! The pope could have said it.

I mean, it's just non-heterosexual. It could be asexual, but it's more likely homosexual.
