Hello,

Correct - if there is not enough space, the gliss will not show but that
doesn't mean it's not "there". :)
Terms like "minimum length" and whatnot are things you'll come across a lot,
as you tweak your scores but as a beginner, I highly suggest reading the
great learning material that is on the LilyPond website. It's very in-depth
and a great introduction.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/spanners
(for example)

I've made some videos too if you prefer visual help, here's a link to some
LilyPond beginner tutorials if you're interested:
