Lines for voicing

I’m replicating a keyboard part that has lines to indicate voices crossing the staves:

If I use the Line tool to draw a horizontal line between notes, Dorico gives me this:

Is there a global way to make the line closer to the stem, or am I going to have to do them manually…?

How about the engraving options for glissandos? Asking without having an actual clue.

But then I’d have to use glissandi, which would be “the wrong thing”, rather than Lines, and I’d have to suppress playback.

I think I will be able to select them all and apply the same Y offset to each end; when I’ve finished entering them, if I remember!

Dorico doesn’t have any options for moving notehead-attached notes stemwards. I can see the appeal here because a less sharply angled line looks a bit better, but at the present time there’s no way to achieve this automatically.

Applying 3 and -3 spaces Y offset does work well.
