Hello all,

Does anyone have any tips for achieving the effect in the attached image?

[image: Inline images 2]

Effectively I want to make it automatically parallel to the glissando -
there are two or three in the piece I'm engraving.

Firstly I was hoping to be able to create a second voice of glissandos and
override its style to be a hairpin, but that doesn't appear to be an option.

Secondly I tried to change the glissando style to a normal single line for
a glissando, and then set the notes such that it looked like a hairpin
(i.e. in this instance - treble clef - C and A both glissandoing to
something like a low B) which is slightly fiddly but should at least remain
roughly correct regardless of layout changes/end of line etc., but doing
that also changed the trill-style glissando to a single line so I didn't
pursue that further.

So thirdly I'm looking at the rotate hairpin option, which I guess makes it
possible to achieve manually in each case, as there are not all that many
instances, but will presumably need tweaking if there are any future layout
changes.

Have I missed something? I feel like the second way ought to be achievable
but I can't work out how to set the glissando style independently in
different voices, if that is possible. If there is a more graceful way of
doing it that would also be much appreciated.

Thanks for any help!
