Hey lilypond users,
I am trying to write a glissando from note A to note B while traversing
several headless stems and, so far, have only come up with the following
solution:
headless = #(define-music-function (parser location) ()
#{
\once \override Staff . NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
#})
\relative c'' {
c4\glissando \headless b\glissando \headless a\glissando f
}
In this example, the glissandos are disconnected where the transparent
noteheads begin and end. This is in addition to the larger problem that the
glissando from the headless a to the f has a different slope than the
others, and ideally, I'd like one smooth line from c to f. I've
experimented with a variety of kludges including raising/lowering noteheads
to interpolate linearly between note A and note B, but this still does not
solve the problem of disjoint glissando lines at the transparent noteheads.
It seems like a simple solution would be allowing for a glissando to connect
to a non-subsequent note, so in the above example, having the glissando
connect from the c to the f and budging the stems of b and a accordingly to
connect with the gliss. However, I don't know how to do this. Your help
would be greatly appreciated!
