Re: How do I typeset this glissando?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Read in "Scaling Durations" in the manual to understand how my
trick works. For a half note, you could do
a2*1/2 \glissando \once \override Stem #'transparent = ##t \tiny e4 ...

The MIDI support in LilyPond is not intelligent enough to handle a
glissando at all, so you will hear the start and end note of the
glissando (well, just try and see what happens, that's easier than
that I try to explain it in words).
