More or less like this: ) You put it in front of a note like a raise (glissando). When you should do the raise with the lips only (bend), the symbol is a bent line (like a slur). When you should do the raise like a glissando (using the fingers, playing other notes), the symbol is a zigzag line. When the composer uses a straight line, you don't know what to do. ;-) Sometimes, the bend symbol is placed above the note instead of before the note. > > How can this be done? > > Well, in 1.8 it will probably be possible (and perhaps even in an easy > way) - but in 1.6 there is afaics not much you can do. > The attached kludge does something like what you request.

I'm sorry, it doesn't seem to work for me (lilypond 1.6.5): Parsing...Backtrace: 0* left ERROR: In expression left: ERROR: Unbound variable: left What can I be doing wrong?
