RE: harp gliss spacing

Saul--I'm not sure I understand how exactly you want the spacing to look. Do 
you have an example image? If not, what exactly do you want to line up between 
the two staves?

Subject: harp gliss spacing

Hi all,

I am trying to notate a harp gliss in an orchestral score, and I am having 
trouble figuring out a good solution that does not mess up the horizontal 
spacing of the other instruments. I am currently doing it like this:

\version "2.16.0"
\language "english"

oboe = \relative c'' {
  a4 g f8 a b ds |
  e1 |
}

harp = \relative c' {
  r4 \afterGrace d2.\glissando { ef32[ fs gf as bf cs]\glissando } |
  d'1 |
}

<<
  \new Staff \oboe
  \new Staff \harp
>>

What I would like is for the oboe part to space with normal proportions, but 
loose enough that there is room for the grace notes in the harp. Messing with 
afterGraceFraction isn't much help, since I don't actually want all the grace 
notes to happen within a particular beat; rather I want them distributed across 
several beats.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Saul
