Hi Nick,
Is this the only solution?
My preference would be to adjust the padding or X-extent of the arpeggio directly, e.g.
\version "2.13.3" arpspace = \once \override Staff.Arpeggio #'X-extent = #'(-13 . 1) treble = \relative c' { a4 \arpspace cis\arpeggio | g' cis, | } bass = \relative c { <e a,>4 <a e a,>\arpeggio | <bes d, a> <a e a,> | } hidden = \relative c { \hideNotes c4 c } \score { << \context Staff = guitar { \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t \clef "treble_8" \key d \minor \time 2/4 << \context Voice = "1" { \voiceOne \treble } \context Voice = "2" { \voiceTwo \bass } >> } >> \layout { \context { \Staff \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" } } } Hope this helps!
