My apologies for a very badly worded sentence that gave a wrong impression.
Emphasis was intended to be on the nature of the wave itself, rather than
presence or absence. However, having said that, I have observed
falsetto/head transitions that show a significant suppression, at times
total, of the wave. Moreover, my confident assertion that there is no
closure in falsetto 'has undergone review', shall we say, following a pile
of footage left merrily on my desk one morning. *sigh* I used to know so
much about the voice, and these days I know nothing. ;-D
