+A glissando can connect notes across staves:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+\new PianoStaff <<
+ \new Staff = "right" {
+ e'''2\glissando
+ \change Staff = "left"
+ a,,4\glissando
+ \change Staff = "right"
+ b''8 r |

+@end lilypond
+
+A glissando can connect notes in chords. If anything other than a
+direct one-to-one pairing of the notes in the two chords is required
+the connections between the notes are defined by setting
+@code{\glissandoMap}, where the notes of a chord are assumed to be
+numbered from zero in the order in which they appear in the input
+@file{.ly} file.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]

+<c, e>1\glissando |
