I tried it out, worked perfectly as in the snippet you showed, from the b to the a, but when adding the same override to the second one, from d to c, it does not work anymore (the 1 to 1 fingering instructions)

I added the code for what I think should be added in the snippet, but I think the issue is clear, the glissando for finger 2 skips the next note where a new glissando should start, for finger 1, but because it is skipped by the first glissando, it doesn't get rendered.

I get "programming error: overwriting glissando" even without using the custom engraver.  Because you can't use glissandi as you're doing, you can't use the engraver since it piggybacks on Glissando_engraver.

If this engraver were ever to be improved (...someday) it would need its independence from glissandi.  At the moment, I think probably the only way to achieve what you want is to use multiple voices.

HTH,

David
