Re: glissando to a nearby modified pitch doesn't always work inside a triplet

My guess is that there is not enough space between the two notes where

be better to drop the glissando altogether.

Any hints how to get this triplet show the intended slide and pull off?

Yes, you need to override the 'minimum-length property.  The override of 'springs-and-rods is necessary for the new setting to take effect.

\override Glissando #'minimum-length = #5

\override Glissando #'springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods

It looks like the first glissando is actually hidden by the staff line.
