Hi, please consider:
{ b4\glissando \once \override NoteColumn.glissando-skip = #(lambda (grob) (pretty-print (list (cons 'X-parent (ly:grob-parent grob X)) (cons 'Y-parent (ly:grob-parent grob Y)))) #t) c' d' } I.e. NoteColumn seems to have no parents, at least I can't read any parent from 'glissando-skip. Is this on purpose? Cheers, Harm
