Re: glissandi and line breaks

[luis jure]

hello list, no comment on this issue? i guess i'll have to do something
i'd have preferred not to do: finish my score with an external program
like inkscape. 

BUT, i can't create svg files with lilypond that are readable by
inkscape. searching the web i found some old threads about problems
with the svg output. any updated info about this?

thanks,

lj
