Glissato for strings
Currently the glissato is what you get on the piano. For string instruments, the glissato is not a succession of well-marked chromatic or diatoponic sounds.
Even on the guitar, glissando produces an effect similar to portamento.
Can I hope that the glissato will be managed in a more realistic way than what you get on stringed instruments?

Thanks.
I knew this chapter.
I reread it carefully.
My difficulties in bending are in tempo (time) management.
What is a space (if I understand it concerns the horizontal axis): an Eighth (quaver): an
Quarter (crotchet) , a millisecond ?: maybe if I clarify this I can change my bending frustrationsTo better clarify,
I attach a screenshot: bar 1 and bar 3 must sound the same way?
Thanks you in advance

Not sure what you're asking here, what a space is, is explained on that page, resp. the page it links to. It is neither of what you listed: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/glossary#spatium

The horizontal axis in the dialog allows you to add multiple segments to the bend. Each segment will take up 1sp in the visual display of the bend. It does not affect playback timing
If you want the notation of m3 to play back as m1, then disable playback of the notated m3 and add the notation of m1 as a second voice to m3; then mark that invisible.

Spatium (plural: Spatia) / Space / Staff Space / sp. (abbr./unit)
The distance between the midpoints of two lines of a music staff (or one-quarter the size of the full five-line staff, assuming a hypothetical staff line thickness of 0). The sizes of most elements in the score are based on this setting
Therefore the bending lasts as long as the note on which it is applied?

yes, of course

Tank you.
Glissato for string is not equal bending

But similar. And similar enough for short enough glissandos (bends are pretty restricted in the amount of semitones it can span).
In reply to But similar. by Jojo-Schmitz
Yes, but the notation of the glissando is done with the slur. On the guitar the string is not pulled but the finger slpis on the handle
However thanks for your interest
you can think or listen to a Hawaiian guitar to get an idea of how it sounds
