Using this glissando method mentioned, does anybody know of a specific override 
that would force the glissando line to be flat (i.e. ignore the y position of 
the right bound and instead use the y position of the left one)?

If that's not simple then I was thinking this might be achievable with a 
simple-ish scheme callback, something like:
\override Glissando #'bound-details #'right #'Y = >>>>>> some nice function 
which returns the staff position of the note that the gliss is attached to 
<<<<<<

A nudge in the right direction would be great!

Thanks,
