Text answer: when there is a bar between the two glissando notes, the Glissando.ms object needs to be immediately after the first note (before the bar).

Also note in @Rick G.'s example that he set the Class to Span. This will allow the glissandos to correctly span if they cross a system break.

Thank you, gentlemen.

It's looking good now, but I am now trying to fix the bump at the end of the slide. Am trying to adapt Fred Nachbaur's gliss.nwc on Scriptorium (https://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful/gliss.nwc) and Rick's example for this, but something happens at the end.

TIA

Gosh! Why so complicated?
Maybe something like this...

The last note in m. 4 is a C#, but it sounded like it went up to an E.
Thanks for looking at it.
