#### Glissando

Glissando objects are created by: Glissando_engraver and Note_head_line_engraver

Standard settings:

`style` (symbol):
  `'line`

  This setting determines in what style a grob is typeset. Valid choices depend on the `stencil` callback reading this property.

`gap` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.5`

  Size of a gap in a variable symbol.

`zigzag-width` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.75`

  The width of one zigzag-squiggle. This number will be adjusted slightly so that the glissando line can be constructed from a whole number of squiggles.

`breakable` (boolean):
  `#t`

  Can this object appear at a line break, like clefs and bar lines?

`X-extent` (pair of numbers):
  `#f`

  Hard coded extent in X direction.

`Y-extent` (pair of numbers):
  `#f`

  See `X-extent`.

`after-line-breaking` (boolean):
  `ly:line-spanner::after-line-breaking`

  Dummy property, used to trigger callback for after-line-breaking

This object supports the following interfaces: line-spanner-interface, line-interface, spanner-interface and grob-interface
