Oops, never mind the above -- I see now that what is missing is the scaling of the landing note of the glissando so that the total ends up being 4 beats all together:
{ %\set Score.skipBars = ##t \override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag \relative c' { \clef bass \key c \major \time 4/4 f4 f4 f4 f4 % glissando thingy { \hideNotes a,8*1/2 \noBeam \glissando \unHideNotes f''8*1/2-^\fz r8 r4 r2 } f4 f4 f4 f4 r4 b4 r4 b4 r4 b4 r4 b4 \bar "||" } } works fine! _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
