New issue 1617 by address@hidden: chordGlissando is a hack that  
should be replaced with a Glissando property such as 'connect-all

chordGlissando is a hack; it uses a bunch of Scheme code with hard-coded  
settings that can't be adjusted by users.  It also creates temporary voices  
with hidden notes, so the properties set in the current voice aren't used.   
And it won't handle three notes.

It should probably have never been added to music-functions-init.ly, but  
it's there, so I think we should leave it until we get it fixed right.

The ideal way to get slide indications is to add a property to Glissando,  
e.g. 'connect-all, that will have the Glissando engraver create multiple  
glissando lines when two chords are linked.
