Glissando beyond the beat, barline, and measure

Sibelius binds the value of a glissando to the starting note value - which is great when you want divisions that work in the basic mathematics of it's structures. In US parlance - a half note, or a doted half note glissando to another note is easy. But what if you want a glissando the length of a half note tied to a 16th note going to the remain dotted 8th note? Irregular values for glissandi are a chore or worse impossible. Likewise, to get glissandi for certain rhythmic values - say 2 4/4 bars - you have to make an 8/4 bar. Sometimes you get what you want - sometimes you don't. Hiding meter numbers is awkward looking in the score, and meters and each bar line can only be adjusted so far - even with the magnetic layout turned off. At the very least we need some sort of plug-in that will allow us to create all the glissandi we need. It would be nice if everything I mention in this Idea be addressed. Work around strategies gratefully accepted!
