Oops, never mind the above -- I see now that what is missing is the scaling of the landing note of the glissando so that the total ends up being 4 beats all together: { %\set Score.skipBars = ##t \override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag \relative c' { \clef bass

Thanks Kieren! These works much better than the glissando. I have never used the Bend's, but it really works nice and seams more real to the effect produced when playing. I'm an argentina tango player and in tango the glissando without an inicial note its really common. And we always have call it g

Thanks Again James! But I'm sorry to tell you that it doesn't work :( 'cause having a previous note attached to the glissando, even if the note is hidden, make changes to the time in the bar. If timing is the only problem you can use something akin to this fucntion I've been using to make thi

Hi Pato, Perhaps a less fussy way would be to tweak BendAfter, e.g. \version "2.13.29" anotherWay = \relative c' { \override BendAfter #'extra-offset = #'(-4.25 . -2) \override BendAfter #'minimum-length = #2 e'4 d2. \bendAfter #4 f4 e2. \bendAfter #4 g4 f2. } \score { \anotherWay }

Once again! Thanks! Definitely I was the one implementing the trick in a wrong way! A little add to the trick so the first tempo of the bar stays intact, I touch the time stretch of the predecessor note to the glissando. Mean: realtive c'={ \time 4/4 e'4 d2.*3/4 \hideNotes a2.*1/4 \noBeam \glissan

Thanks James, but it doesn't work. Probably I'm doing it wrong but if I \hideNotes I end up with different problems. One, If I use different voices, the glissando stays hidden. The other thing its that the note placement in the bar is altered and I don't want that. I need the 1st tempo in the first

Hi everyone! Im trying something thats probably easy but I cant find the solution. What I need to do is to print a glissando line Before the note. Something like: key g \major time 4/4 \glissando a4 a a a \bar "|." These doesn't work 'cause the "\glissando" needs to be attached to a real note fir
