Arpeggio

You can specify an arpeggio sign on a chord by attaching an \arpeggio to a note of the chord.

  \context Voice <c\arpeggio e g c>

[picture of music]

When an arpeggio crosses staffs in piano music, you attach an arpeggio to the chords in both staffs, and set PianoStaff.connectArpeggios.

  \context PianoStaff <
    \property PianoStaff.connectArpeggios = ##t
    \context Voice = one  { <c'\arpeggio e g c> }
    \context Voice = other { \clef bass  <c,,\arpeggio e g>}
  >

[picture of music]

This command creates Arpeggio grobs. Cross staff arpeggios are PianoStaff.Arpeggio. Arpeggio

BUGS

It is not possible to mix connected arpeggios and unconnected arpeggios at the same time.
