Well, there are different things. To draw a glissando-line you need to tell LilyPond were to start and where to end, this can't be unspecified. The performer of said glissando may be told to do a glissando to an unspecified pitch if no pitch is visible. > (with glissando sign possibly > overlapping the rests) There are already possibilities to tweak appearance or even to skip a note-column or rest \version "2.19.82" { e'2\glissando e'' \once \override Glissando.bound-details.right.padding = -10 e'2\glissando e'' e'2\glissando \override NoteColumn.glissando-skip = ##t r r \revert NoteColumn.glissando-skip e'' } Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
