When using the straight line gliss, I usually like to have the line attach directly to the noteheads. But what if there's an intervening accidental that gets in the way? What's your preferred solution in this case? End the line before the accidental (although sometimes spacing is very tight and this would cause the gliss line to almost disappear)?


TGTools shift menu somewhere...

i commonly use accis everywhere and so set up the default right end line positioning to always avoid the accis, since there are less edits this way for me.

when the spacing is tight make it looser. lots, these small gliss lines look like shit and clutter the score, make it look like crap. the looser spacing everywhere else is compensated by clarity in the details of the score.

Hide the "real" accidental and put it in as an articulation above the note?

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! guaranteed catastrophe.

Or just live with the collision?

despite my comments above, this is also a possibility, depending on the timeframe and budget...

i have also sometimes had to have the whole gliss line offset because of density and inevitable collisions (eg. chords, two-note glisses that cross each other... cellists love those, write lots of them).
