Making glissandi breakable
Appearance
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 Glissando.breakable property to #t. Also setting the after-line-breaking property to #t makes the glissando line continue after the break.
The breakable property does not affect manual breaks inserted with commands like \break.
