Phil just gave me an example but in includes some unwanted marks. I've
got my code just about how I want it. Rather than omitting all of the
String Numbers how would I include the numbers for the notes of the
slide but not other individual notes. Could it be \omit StringNumber and
then \include StringNumber for multiple incidences or is there a more
elegant way to do this? Here is the almost good code....
\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"
% Slide from somewhere not important...
song = {
% \omit StringNumber
\hideNotes
\grace { a8\3\glissando }
% ( a8\3\glissando )
\unHideNotes
c'4\3 ds'\2 f'\2
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \clef "treble_8" \song }
\new TabStaff { \song }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override Glissando.minimum-length = #4
\override Glissando.springs-and-rods =
#ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
\override Glissando.thickness = #2
}
}
}
I have yet to play with the parameters of Glissando but I imagine they
are more or less self-explanatory.
Namaste,
Kevin Tough

Does this do what you want?
\hideFretNumber <d>8\2 (\glissando <g>2\2)
