Re: 'to-barline' doesn't stop glissando from crossing the barline.

Another problem (I know I can tackle it with a cadanza) that I think
should have worked but didn't -- probably due to my lack of knowledge
of lilypond -- is the following bar:

\version "2.24.1"

\new TabStaff \fixed c {
   \tabFullNotation
   \slurUp < f'-4\2 >8[ < f'-4\2 >16 ( < d'-1\2 >16 )]
   < c'-3\3 >8[  < d'-1\2 >8] (
   \once \override TabNoteHead.transparent = ##t
   < d'\3 >8 )
   \once \override Glissando.bound-details.to-barline = ##t
   < f'-4\2 >4. \glissando
   \hideNotes
     \grace < d'-4\3 >32
   \unHideNotes
}


I know, the \grace note extends into the next bar, but the directive
to stop before the barline seems quite
clear to me. Any hints again? (I'm starting to feel quite silly now...)

The property 'to-barline is a stand-alone property, not a sub-property
of 'bound-details.

Alas, if you use it correctly it crashes.
You discovered a very long standing, so far undetected bug.
I just wrote a bug-report:
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/work_items/6951

If you really need it you can do (as MWE):
\new TabStaff
{
   \once \override Glissando.to-barline = ##t
   \once \override Glissando.extra-dy = #-0.75
   \once \override Glissando.bound-details.right.Y = 3.75
   g'1 \glissando
   f'
}

Or probably something like below (your example):
\new TabStaff \fixed c {
   \tabFullNotation
   \slurUp < f'-4\2 >8[ < f'-4\2 >16 ( < d'-1\2 >16 )]
   < c'-3\3 >8[  < d'-1\2 >8] (
   \once \override TabNoteHead.transparent = ##t
   < d'\3 >8 )
   <<
        < f'-4\2 >4.\glissando
        {
             s4 s16.
             \once \omit Flag
             \once \override TabNoteHead.stencil = #point-stencil
             \once \omit Stem
             < d'-4\3 >32
        }
   >>
}

Thanks Harm,
does it still make sense to file bug reports for 2.24? Or does it  
occur in 2.26 too.
Anyway, that 'stand-alone property'... I must admit that I barely know  
what I'm doing, so a lot comes down to trial and error. I tried  
Glissando.to-barline and that didn't work. So I reasoned that as it  
has to with a right boundary, maybe it would work with bound-details  
included.

Your first work-around requires tweaking every time, the second one  
with the 'empty' voice seems more elegant to me, so that's what I'm  
going to try.

Thanks again,

harry
