Here is what I eventually used.
\version "2.11.21"
\include "
english.ly"
% define jazz markups
shake = \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.prallprall" }
bend = \markup { \musicglyph #"brackettips.up" }
music = \relative c' {
\key ef \major
\time 2/2
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space = #3.0
ef4 ^\bend d8( c) r2
% Use bendAfter for falls (and doits)
r8 bf4->-\bendAfter #-3 g-> \glissando e!-> e8
g2. ^\shake af8( ef-^)
} % end music
% Put it together here
\score {
<<
\new Staff \music
\clef bass
>>
\layout {
ragged-last = ##t
\context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
\context {
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
}
}
}
