John,
How about a zig-zag glissando? http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-as-lines (Scroll down a little) Mark From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr....@gnu.org] On Behalf Of John Burt Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2020 2:47 PM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: How to code a glide? I'm sorry to say that I don't even know the proper term for what I am trying to do. I am setting some Georgian folksongs. Sometimes they end with a descending glide on the last note (like an engine running down). On the handwritten sheet music I have been using this is represented as a squiggly descending line after the last note. I'd like to put that in my score, but I have no idea how to code it. Does anyone have an idea? John Burt
