Almost forgot. You can choose a different font size if you need it
coarser or finer.

I need a flageolet-glissando symbol. The desired symbol seems to

fonts, or in another font, or what is the best way to create it (I
hate the shape designer, but I am willing to try it...).
Johannes,
Try this:
Select custom line, and choose the glissando without the "gliss."
Duplicate it, and edit it so the character used is Maestro m (which
looks like a mordent.) It is slot 109 on my Mac, though slot 181 is
similar.
When you enter this line at a 45 degree angle, it has sharp edges
like a staircase, rather than the wavy edges of the gliss. You
might have to nudge the endpoints to make it look regular.
You might try other fonts to look for a similar character if that
one doesn't do it for you.
Hope this helps.
Christopher
