Well I've got what I want - to indicate move of a finger along the fretboard without lifting it - by creating a music function to modify a glissando with padding on the left and right: slide = #(define-music-function (parser location padleft padright) (number? number?) #{ \once \override Glissando #'bound-details #'left #'padding = #$padleft \once \override Glissando #'bound-details #'right #'padding = #$padright #})
And then I can have in my score e'4 e e <a-4> | <g-2>4. <fs-1>8 e4 \slide #3 #4 <g-3>4\glissando | <fs-3> e <e b> <ds-4> | Which shows the move from G to F# in the upper voice in the attached png. To do the same for the lower voice which contains chords at the point where I want these indications, I'll guess have to create a hidden voice or voices to which to attach the glissando. Nick
