This looks promising and I would like to try to understand what the two duration parameters 8.. and 32 are doing in this context. The only documentation I have found for \after is \after delta (duration) ev (music) mus (music) ⇒ music Add music ev with a delay of delta after the onset of mus I'm not sure what "Add" means here - playing around with various values has got me confused - some values push subsequent notes into the next bar, others change the spacing of bars before and after as if it had affected the Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment. I wonder if someone could shed some light on this. The goal is to create a glissando from a note to a non-printing note - I'm this means its note-column (?) is made wider, but otherwise the spacing is normal.
