You need to define a music function for this.

How about:

\version "2.19.30"

addGlissandi =
#(define-music-function (music) (ly:music?)
   (music-map
    (lambda (mus)
      (if (music-is-of-type? mus 'event-chord)
          (append! (ly:music-property mus 'elements)
            (list (make-music 'GlissandoEvent))))
      (if (music-is-of-type? mus 'note-event)
          (set! (ly:music-property mus 'articulations)
                (cons (make-music 'GlissandoEvent)
                  (ly:music-property mus 'articulations))))

      mus)
    music)
   music)


{
  \addGlissandi { c'4 g' c'' g' }
  c'1
  \addGlissandi { <c' e'>4 <g' c''> <c'' e''> <g' c''> }
  <c' e'>1
}

%%%

Hope this helps,
