I didn't mean as a replacement to a slur, but rather as an additional style 
of grace/acciaccatura/appoggiatura with glissando instead of slur.

My own thoughts, having played with this most of yesterday, are that a 
glissando placed between a grace and main note is either hardly visible, or, 
in order to make the glissando visible and clear, the grace and main note 
need to be positioned too far apart. Of course this is all very subjective.

In the end I preferred to move the glissando below the notes - which solved 
the above points. I've include the the first four bars of Le Fandango Varié 
by Dionisio Aguado and a png clip below to put things in context (hope this 
mailing list accepts image clips).
