Thanks for answering my question on what a "Fall" is.  My follow up question is what is the notation for a "Fall".  I don't see it listed in the Notation PDF.  I do see a "Cut" on p. 2 which is defined as the opposite of a Dip.  How does a Cut differ from a Fall?

Hello harpomarks. There is

Hello harpomarks.

There is no notation for the fall... just know that when a note finishes with a bend, that sometimes it's not held upon.

A dip is where a note starts with a quick bend.

A cut is where a note is quickly bent.

A fall is usually a note that is held for a bit, and then is bent quickly at the end, and not held upon. Again, it's not really a technique that needs to be notated with formal notation.
