hi Mats,

I tried your suggestion, but I think I'm screwing up the syntax 
somewhere - here's my test file:

-------------------
\version "2.2.2"

glisslinescript = \markup{
	"\\embeddedps{ 0.2 setlinewidth 1 6 moveto 3 -8 lineto stroke \halign 
#1 { \italic gliss. } }" }

glissline = \markup{
    "\\embeddedps { 0.2 setlinewidth 1 6 moveto 3 -8 lineto stroke }" }

glisslinewide = \markup{
        "\\embeddedps{ 0.2 setlinewidth 1 6 moveto 5.5 -8 lineto stroke }" }

\score {

        \notes{
                \new Staff {
                \clef treble
                \time 4/4
                        {
                        c1\glisslinescript d\glissline e\glisslinewide
                        }
                }
        
        }
        
        \paper {
                #(set-paper-size "a4")
        }
        
}
-------------------

and the message that results:

/Users/bduncan/lilypond/glissbits.ly:19:22: error: Have to be in Lyric 
mode for lyrics:
                        c1\glisslinescript
                                           d\glissline e\glisslinewide

(etc.)

Where have I messed up?
