Accurately notating a glissando

[Robert_Smallwood]

I would be grateful if someone can advise me as to how to notate the attached in Dorico Pro 6. Many thanks

Here are two options. The first with a grace note scaled up in size, and the second with a hidden 4:3q tuplet. Stem hidden in Engrave mode, and shift-x text for the slow gliss. Think the latter is better.

And a third option with a line with the slow gliss centered.

Thanks Jesele. That works well. I am using the first option with grace note before the beat. And I quite like setting the size of the note in parenthesis smaller than full size and opted for cue size rather than grace note.
