If the glissando-line is _too_ short in tight layout-situations, it
will not be printed. Thus no stencil, causing the error.
Ensuring a reasonable minimum-length, cures the error, but the visual
output is not convincing.
Lemme see if I can come up with something better, but I'll likely have
not no time to work on it before the weekend.
