Re: Glissando line - I can't see it

Yes, I've read that snippet but when I simply wrote \glissando on other parts, it worked, like here:

{

<ges\harmonic bes''>\glissando( <ees\harmonic g''>)

}

I suppose the glissando line actually is there but there isn't enough space to show it properly.

Anyway I'll check the voices part on the manual, thanks!

Hi everyone,
I'm completely new of Lilypond and I was copying some music I wrote in Sibelius.
I have a glissato but I can't manage to see it. Here is my code:

\version "2.18.2"
{
r8 <g b''>16\f (\glissando<ges bes''>) <ges bes''>( <g g''>) r8 r2-\fermata
}

This is what I'd want to have:

but this is what I have in Lylipond

Thanks in advance!

I believe you need to consider what voices actually do the gliss because visually things may look like they are connected but trying to gliss from between voices (not the same voice) require a little more attention.

First snippet here shows what I am talking about:

Make sure you read the LilyPond learning manual about voices :) It will help you a lot.
