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

You could probably leave off the ending note if the glissando to indicate indefinite final pitch. A lot of this stuff doesn't have only one right answer, there are a couple different ways you could tackle it.
