Thank you, Harm! I understand it now!
I appreciate your patience! I'm an experienced score writer, but very much a
novice using markup language!
My problem was i did not use \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" in the right
context. (i did not use the \with and parenthesis correctly)
FYI, I was also confused by NR 1.3.3 because i do not create voices using { }
\\ { } and had trouble figuring out where to place the \once \set
StaffGroup.connectArpeggios = ##t
Thanks again! Proßt zum wohl!
dirck

I've no clue what this thread is about, it's all in NR
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-as-lines#arpeggio
- Consist the engraver to the correct context (here: Staff)
- call connectArpeggios with correct context (here: \set
Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t)
- mark all relevant/notes/chords with \arpeggio
global = {
\key c \major
\numericTimeSignature
\time 4/4
}
VoiceOne = \relative c' {
\global
% Music follows here.
\once \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t
<a'>2 \arpeggio
}
VoiceTwo = \relative c' {
\global
\stemDown
% Music follows here.
<c, e g >2 \arpeggio
}
VoiceThree = \relative c' {
\global
% Music follows here.
}
VoiceFour = \relative c' {
\global
% Music follows here.
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {
\consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
midiInstrument = "acoustic guitar (nylon)"
} { \clef "treble_8" << \VoiceOne \\ \VoiceTwo \\ \VoiceThree \\
\VoiceFour >> }
\layout { }
}
Done,
Harm
