Thanks for the suggestions, I was sent the following code which does the
job beautifully -
r2*1/2 \hideNotes d8\glissando \unHideNotes a'8 fs d b
Seems a bit overly complicated for adding something so simple don't ya
think? I'll have to look for some info in the docs on the time
distortion, I haven't come across it previously. Sounds like something
from a sci-fi movie. ;)
regards,
Chip

Why not use an invisible grace note to start the glissando? Then,
there's no need to fiddle with the timing:
\transpose c c'{
\grace{ \hideNotes g,8\glissando \unHideNotes} c'4 c'4 c'4 r4 |
\grace{\hideNotes c''8\glissando \unHideNotes} c'4 c'4 c'4 r4 |
a1\fermata \grace{\hideNotes d'4\glissando \unHideNotes }|
ees8->[ c8]-> r4 r2 |
}
Well, to answer my own question, the hidden grace note will be so
close to the following note, that the resulting glissando might look
too short. One possible workaround is to include more hidden notes (or
spacer notes) in the \grace{...}:
\grace{ \hideNotes g,8\glissando s s \unHideNotes} c'4 c'4 c'4 r4 |

A judicious use of time distortion may help you here.
\transpose c c'{
\hideNotes g,32\glissando \unHideNotes c'4*7/8 c'4 c'4 r4 |
\hideNotes c''32\glissando \unHideNotes c'4*7/8 c'4 c'4 r4 |
a1*3/4\fermata \hideNotes d'4\glissando \unHideNotes |
ees8->[ c8]-> r4 r2 |
}
And then patiently adjust padding and minimum-length ...
Cheers,
Robin
