harp gliss spacing

[Shevek]

Hi all,

I am trying to notate a harp gliss in an orchestral score, and I am having
trouble figuring out a good solution that does not mess up the horizontal
spacing of the other instruments. I am currently doing it like this:

\version "2.16.0"
\language "english"

oboe = \relative c'' {
  a4 g f8 a b ds |
  e1 |
}

harp = \relative c' {
  r4 \afterGrace d2.\glissando { ef32[ fs gf as bf cs]\glissando } |
  d'1 |
}

<<
  \new Staff \oboe
  \new Staff \harp
>>

What I would like is for the oboe part to space with normal proportions, but
loose enough that there is room for the grace notes in the harp. Messing
with afterGraceFraction isn't much help, since I don't actually want all the
grace notes to happen within a particular beat; rather I want them
distributed across several beats.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Saul
