Editing Making glissandi breakable

Normally, LilyPond refuses to automatically break a line at places where a glissando crosses a bar line. This behavior can be changed by setting the <code>Glissando.breakable</code> property to <code>#t</code>. Also setting the <code>after-line-breaking</code> property to <code>#t</code> makes the glissando line continue after the break.

The <code>breakable</code> property does not affect manual breaks inserted with commands like <code>\break</code>.

<lilypond version="2.24">
glissandoSkipOn = {
  \override NoteColumn.glissando-skip = ##t
  \hide NoteHead
  \override NoteHead.no-ledgers = ##t
}

music = {
  \repeat unfold 16 f8 |
  f1\glissando |
  a4 r2. |
  \repeat unfold 16 f8 |
  f1\glissando \once\glissandoSkipOn |
  a2 a4 r4 |
  \repeat unfold 16 f8
}

               set to \typewriter "#t" }

  \override Glissando.after-line-breaking = ##t
  \music
}

\relative c'' {
