I also ran into this problem recently. Here is what I came up with as a visually acceptable solution:
/\version "2.19" \relative c' { \once \override Arpeggio.positions = #'(-2 . 1) \once \override Stem.extra-offset = #'(0 . 1) \once \override Stem.length-fraction = #0.75 \once \override Flag.extra-offset = #'(0 . 1) <a' \tweak transparent ##t f>8\arpeggio }/ (change the numerical values to your liking) Basically, I have made a chord (so that the arpeggio has something to attach to), then I've hidden the lower note, and moved the stem and flag around to cover up any messiness. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/arpeggio-on-single-note-tp171243p171247.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
