Dear Robert,
I've seen a number of glissando notations, generally depending on period and
style of composition. I know the notation you want, though, and would suggest
experimenting with the #'thickness property of the Glissando object (listed
under line-interface) with #'style set to #'zigzag . You could also try playing
with #'zigzag-width and #'zigzag-length (listed under the
line-spanner-interface.)
Hope this helps,
Vivian.

Subject: Glissando notation?
It seems in Lilypond (v2.10.14) the default notation for glissandos is
a straight line. I've never seen that notation used for glissando
before so I have no idea why it's the default, but that's OK because
everything can be changed, right?
So I tried "\override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag", thinking it would
give me the right thing. But it gives me a very thin, light zig-zag
line -- yet another notation that I have never seen used for
glissando.
The most common, correct notation for glissando looks like a trill
mark. It's a wavy line of varying thickness.
A statement in the on-line reference documentation suggests that
"\override Glissando #'style = #'trill" might help:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/line_002dspanner_002dinterface#line_002dspanner_002dinterface
But unfortunately it doesn't work. I still get a light, straight
line. How do I get correct glissando notation?
-- Robert
P.S. I really *love* the output I get from Lilypond but even (dare I
say it?) Finale gets this particular piece of notation more or less
right.
