Hello Richard and David,

Here is what I had, fyi. I used \after function to give the glissando some fine 
tuning while the content of the measure not spilled over to the next measure. 
While I could see the rationale behind using \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff, I fear 
that it affects the overall spacing. For glissando of this kind, I think that 
it is best to keep the issue of spacing as intact as possible. So my example 
doesn’t use the \cadenza… functions.

All the best,
Yoshi 

\version "2.25.18"
\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  \override Glissando.style = #'zigzag
  c4 c4
  \after 8.. {\hideNotes
  {c,,32}
  \unHideNotes
  } c''4\glissando
  \bar "|" 
R2.
}
