Re: Arpeggio too short

[Colin Wilding]

Here's how I could lengthen the arpeggio squiggle using an ugly tweak:

\score { \notemode { 
        \once \override Stem #'length = #'2.2
        <a'' g'' d'' \tweak #'transparent ##t a'>4\arpeggio
} }

Hardly ideal, though, as it has to be done on every arpeggio and it affects
the midi output.

Can anyone suggest a better way?

I've tried using something like \override Arpeggio #'length = #'4.0.  This
does not generate an error but it has no effect.
