RESULT
If you selected two notes, the glissando line specied is input between the selected notes.
If you selected a single note, the glissando line specied starts from the selected note and ends
at the next note on the staff, even if this crosses rests.
NOTE
● You cannot input a glissando line on the last note on a staff.
● Glissando lines do not automatically adjust around any notes or rests between the
selected notes. If glissando text is shown, the text can collide with notes or rests, in which
case we recommend that you make further adjustments, such as not showing glissando
text for that glissando line.
