Hi Mark Thanks for the reply, but I think you might have viewed the wrong file?
The LilyPond file i submitted should look like this: only one chord.

Mark From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr....@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Dirck Nagy Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2021 1:32 PM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Arpeggios across notes in different voices Hello all I am trying to extend an arpeggio line to cover the entire chord in the example below. I have tried using this: { \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" } and this: \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t << { <e' g>4\arpeggio <d f> <d f>2 } \\ { <d, f>2\arpeggio <g b>2 } >> as given in Reference 1.3.3, but I cannot make it work. I understand the work-around for this example would be to notate all notes in a single voice, but i have other situations where this can not be done. If anyone has time, could someone add the proper sequence & syntax to my example, please? I think i could figure it out from there. Thank you all so much!
