Hi Darcy, I always end the gliss before the accidental. I don't think making the accidental "incidental" by putting it above the note is a solution I'd be happy with. When spacing is tight, and there's no room for hand spacing, I sometimes choose to move the gliss to a position above th

My preference is to move the accidental slightly closer to the notehead, increase the spacing between the two notes slightly, and to end the line visibly (i.e. between staff lines), and at an angle so that it still points to the notehead. No idea whether this matches up to any convention, though.
