i think once they are fattened up they are ok

thanks brett - yes i just figured out last night the ommission in my sed 
command (duh!) - so the solution that seems to work best for me is this:

sed  's/~/\\glissando/g' header-inserted > ties-fixed;

the new way the #gap is delt with now in 2.11 had me stumped for a 
couple of hours but eventually i figured it out

\override Glissando #'(bound-details left padding) = #0.0
 \override Glissando #'(bound-details right padding) = #0.0
 \override Glissando #'minimum-length = #15
 \override Glissando #'thickness = #4
