Hi, Andrew -

I used this to indicate a slide up into a note.

\version "2.19.49"

{
  a'
  \once \override Glissando.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  \once \override Glissando.minimum-length = #4.5
  \once \hideNotes
  { \grace b'8 \glissando } c''4.
  a''8
}

Hi, Andrew -

I used this to indicate a slide up into a note. You should be able to
adjust the length and slope reasonably easily.

\version "2.19.49"

{
  a'
  \once \override Glissando.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  \once \override Glissando.minimum-length = #4.5
  \once \hideNotes
  { \grace b'8 \glissando } c''4.
  a''8
}

HTH,

Ralph
