I have some questions regarding slides.

I think tablature users need different kinds of slides:

* legato slide: just the first note is picked (by fingers or flatpick), the notes after the first one are not picked again. In this case, besides the line which ties the numbers together, there should be an arch (a slur) showing that is a legato slide [this is what I've always seen in most books and tab editors].

It's probably the most used kind of slide..
And, afaik, there's not a command in LilyPond to achieve that. Please tell me if I'm wrong.


* slide: not only the first note, but also the notes after are picked.
In this case, a line is sufficient.
This feature is already supported and it's enabled by \glissando


* slide up/ slide down: that is, when you slide from and indefinite point to a precise note, so basically the first number is missing. It can't be legato (because there's just one note).

I don't know if I can already get this with \glissando. I never managed to get it working. If I write \glissando "the note to slide to", it will connect the note before with this note.
Do you know any workaround?


Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
