Tieing a sharp to a flat

Does anyone know of a neat way to tie a sharp to a flat when the two are actually the same note? As the a-flat and g-sharp in this example: \version "2.8.1" \new Staff { \time 4/4 \clef treble \relative { 2 ~ } } The best I have managed is this: \version "2.8.1" \new Staff { \time 4/4 \clef t

The arpeggio squiggle on the chord in the snippet below is really short: \version "2.8.1" \score { 4\arpeggio } I presume this is intentional and not a bug, but is there any way I can make the arpeggio longer without an ugly tweak (such as adding another note to the chord and then hiding it)?
