Is it possible to adjust the speed of a slide/glissando?
Currently creating a glissando between two notes appears to just equally divide the first note into however many notes occur in between it and the target note. This creates quite an unnatural sound, especially for guitar.
Is there a way to manually adjust the timing/ratio of a slide? On guitar I would naturally hold the initial note a moment then slide into the target quickly.

I don't understand, are you saying slides and glissandi are different things in MuseScore?
Also, you can't bend up 7 frets on on guitar ;) - not to mention how weird that would sound on something like a piano.

A bend (which can indeed span only 3.5 demitones) and a glissando are indeed different.
And no, on a glissando you can't set the speed ot staring point.
But you could split the starting note into 2 tied ones and gliss from that 2nd to the next
Or use the Piano Roll Editor to tweak that gliss' playback

Yes, I think we are saying the same thing - slide/glissandi are the same thing whereas a bend is something else. Bends aren't an issue.
I've been attempting to use the piano roll to tweak the gliss playback as you suggest, but it looks like MuseScore makes it uneditable. All of the steps of the gliss are treated as one note, and changing it's length or start time only affects the very last step of the gliss.
Splits and tied notes on a hidden instrument it is! Thanks.

Well, there's slide in and slide out in the same palette, but those don't play back at all.
Reg. PRE: try 3.5 Alpha (or better a later development build, a lot has been change there in this area
