Hi,

you may want to use 'glissando-skip.
See the example below and ‘glissando-skip.ly’  in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/input/regression/collated-files.html

\version "2.15.39"

stemGliss = #(define-music-function (parser location control)(number?)
#{
        \once\override NoteColumn #'glissando-skip = ##t
        \once \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
        \once \override NoteHead #'no-ledgers = ##t
        \once \override NoteHead #'Y-extent = #(cons 0 control)
#})

\relative c' {
        % helper:
        % \override  Stem #'color = #red \override  Stem #'layer = #6

        \once \override Glissando #'bound-details #'left #'padding = #1
        c1\glissando
        \stemGliss #0.3
        d16
        \stemGliss #0
        e
        \stemGliss #0.3
        e
        \stemGliss #-0.1
        f

        \stemGliss #0.2
        f
        \stemGliss #-0.2
        g
        \stemGliss #0.2
        g
        \stemGliss #-0.2
        a
        \once \override Stem #'X-extent = #'(-1.5 . 0)
        \stemGliss #-0.1
        a
        \stemGliss #0.3
        b
        \stemGliss #0
        b
        \stemGliss #0.4
        c

        \stemGliss #0.1
        c
        \stemGliss #0.5
        d
        \stemGliss #0.2
        d
        \stemGliss #0.5
