I don't think that using a new spacing section is the right way to solve this because such a section could still be compressed unfavorably in tight situations, AFAIK. Instead, I would simply give the glissando line a minimum length (I use an exaggerated value for demonstration purposes). ``` \relative c'' { \time 3/4 \override Glissando.style = #'zigzag c4 c4 c4*7/8 \tweak springs-and-rods #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods \tweak minimum-length #10 \glissando \hideNotes c,,32 \unHideNotes \bar "|" R2. } ``` Werner
