Suggestion:
add thickness control on glissando lines (V 3.5 Alpha).

So that would make it a rather easy fix, an additional field in the Glissando Inspector and another in the Edit Style dialog. Only for the straight glissando though I guess, the wiggly one is not drawing using a line, but by using a (set of) SMuFL glyph(s)

I still don't know how to deal with the inspector redesign. Should the inspector be updated by this PR, or is it not worth it? Easy fix in edistyle though.

Hi,

I don't see this functionality yet in 4.0, so I was hoping to poke here for it. I'm creating a lead sheet with several slides, and the glissando lines are very thin. Usually, it's a minor issue, but in cases where it's a short slide, the glissando has very little angle, which makes it blend with the staff lines. In particular, on my staff with rhythmic slash notation, the slides between those are almost straight (see attachment). I have resorted to dragging both ends of all of these to increase the slant so they stand out a bit more, but this is VERY tedious when there are a lot of them; the offset trick mentioned here helps a bit, but a thicker line configuration for the whole score (i.e. change the default) would be more natural and wouldn't require any manual intervention.

Any chance this is on the todo list?

Thanks!
