Part of the problem is Glissando needs NoteHeads at start/end to go
from one pitch to another.
Thus a glissando is not possible from a note-event (or rest) to a rest.

This is quite reasonable at first thought, though I think it should be
possible to draw a glissando bounded by _pitched_ rests.
Why not?

I already had a look at the C++-code, but it's way over my head.

Any taker to explore deeper?
