How to increase the length of an arpeggio
How can I increase the length of the arpeggio bracket on seconds and
thirds, which at their default lengths are ridiculously short. See
attached example. I'd like to make the length of the arpeggio on seconds
and thirds the same length as that on the fourth. I tried various
overrides such as \override Staff.Arpeggio #'Y-extent (which had no
effect at all with any values that I tried) and \override Staff.Arpeggio
#'position (which caused the arpeggio to disappear with all values that
I tried, along with warning messages saying "no head found for arpeggio".
I guess I can get what I want by creating an additional hidden voice
with arpeggiated notes at the right pitch to lengthen the arpeggio, but
was wondering if it is possible to get what I want with an override.
There's also the problem with arpeggios that they don't get spaced
properly from the preceding note. Usually it just means that they're a
bit close, but if the preceding chord contains a second then they
actually overlap the note.

More arpeggio strangeness
This example has two identical bars, except that in the 2nd bar I've
used a hack suggested by Keiren MacMillan to stop the arpeggios crowding
up against the preceding notes. For some reason this doesn't have any
effect on the final arpeggio. However, I've found that if I change the
override for preceding stem to that one arpeggio to be \once \override
Staff.Stem #'X-extent = #'(0 . 2.5), then it's appearance matches that
of the others. I have no idea why a different override is required just
for that one...

Midi-output not generated
Hi there,
I have the following drum excersises written out for my daughter. It prints
beautifully (except that I am not able to set the vertical spacing to my
linking, but that's not that big of a problem). I just wonder why the
midi-file (which is generated) only is 149 bytes long and contains no sound.
Dows anybody know what's going wrong? There are no errors or warnings in the
log.

Wow, this is incredibly cool. Thanks! Bert Patrick McCarty wrote: Hi LilyPond users, Now that 2.13.5 is out, I'm happy to announce that LilyPond has brand new SVG output. Almost every aspect of the output has been modified, with special care to make sure the SVG is compatible with the SVG 1.1 and SVG 1.2 Tiny recommendations. You can find extensive information about the SVG output improvements, bugs, requests, and ideas on the LilyPond wiki: http://wiki.lilynet.net/index.php/SVG_backend Also, you can find some of my testcases here: http://uoregon.edu/~pmccarty/svg/ *** Please report any bugs you find.

I have the impression you missed my suggestion in the last thread. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-09/msg00735.html It is effective in this case too.

You can lengthen an arpeggio using the workaround given in http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=794&q=arrow which is a case where the arpeggio is too short for Lilypond itself. Lengthening just seconds and thirds is very similar to what the #'constrain-hidden-positions override does. If you need both fuctionalities they might have to be combined in a single override.
