\def\gliss#1#2#3#4#5{\zcharnote #1{\off{-#2\noteskip}%
\raise #3\interligne\hbox{\varline{0}{#4\noteskip}{#5}}}}%
where #1 is the starting pitch #2 is how many \noteskip's *back* the starting position is moved,
\#3 is how many \interligne's the starting position is raised , #4 is the length in \noteskip's,
and \#5 is the slope
I found I needed the fine tuning of #2 and #3 to get things approximately acceptable, still after considerable trial and error.
There is definitely a great need for a cleaner solution in the style of slurs, especially since at times one needs a slope larger than what can be achieved by \varline, almost vertical for a glissando to a distant note. Also, the line drawn by \varline is just a bit too thin for this purpose.

I use the following:
\def\gliss#1#2#3{\rlap{\varline{#1}{#2\noteskip}{#3}}}%

#3 = slope.
Takes a fair bit of trial and error to get the length and the slope
right, though. I'm still secretly hoping that someone will come up
with a glissando line that behaves like a slur from the perspective of
specifying the starting and ending points.
