I think this is ok. I will be using a proportional notation anyway so I think it is fine to set \override Glissando.after-line-breaking = ##f Maybe ideally there would be some distribution or only partial reiteration (instead of getting all colors again), but I think this will work fine.

ah. ok. somehow I though it broke all together. So perhaps you are having the same problem as me. Well... at least I got my feet a bit more wet with scheme. Not sure if by "how the broken part should look" if you are asking a question. But admittedly, I do not have a solid idea, I just want

Another option for the line breading is to give the target final note for a system, hide it (basically the last note in your example). then in the next system. do the same with the starting note on the left side and hide it. Kind of a hack, but could actually look nice because you would see

Hmmm... I made the change to use the stencil extent and that seems to be fine. I am not sure what you are saying about the visibility of the final stencil. As for linebreaking. That is indeed a showstopper at the moment. Is that because you are using filled box stencil? When I was using a

Hello... I have tried quite a few hacks, but nothing really suitable. What I really want is to simple draw a line beneath the staff that has a grey scale gradient such that for each note, I give a target value. Most of what I have tried involves doing this in increments with overlapping

A bit more here. I think I can fake this in a markup... See example pasted below. My scheme skilz are minimal. I would like yo do this interpolating between the x position of adjacent notes. So maybe I can do this as a custom beam stencil. or some kind of spanner. Basically I want a scheme
