long glissando with rhythm question

[Joshua Parmenter]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create glissandos that take place over longer periods  
of time where rhythmic events take place during the glissando. After  
a bit of hacking around, I figured out how to do with by laying two  
streams of events over each other, hiding note heads and other  
trickery to get it to appear in a way that I wanted it to... my  
question is, can anyone thing of a way to do this with only one  
stream (basically, I would like to get rid of the \guitartwo code and  
have all this done in \guitarmain.

Thanks for any suggestions.
