What is a "smart line?"
Why not just create a smart line that says "alt fingering" and
extends over the passage? Any jazz player will be familiar with the
technique, but alternate fingerings (like multiphonics) tend to be a
personal thing -- some that work on one horn won't work on another.

Sax players & gurus:
Is there a convenient alternate fingering for the written G above
the staff (concert B flat for Alto Sax)?
How is this normally notated?
I'm using this to demonstrate using normal AATTB voicing
alternating with ATBAT voicing of the same chord in a harmonized
arrangement of an excerpt of a Lester Young solo where Lester uses
an alternate fingering of a 3rd space C (again, concert B flat) to
produce a timbral change on a repeated note rhythm. The alto is
the lead voice (though I suppose it needn't necessarily be), and
the question is, is there a similar fingering trick for that note
on the alto, so that not only will the chord change timbre, but the
lead voice will also?
Thanks,
Chuck
