Re: How to do a Barré in guitar music?

[Arjan Bos]

Back in February, I asked how to do a barré in guitar music as it is  
shown in the following picture:

 This type of drawing used for a `small' type of barré. Daniel Tonda  
helpt me out wonderfully back then. I now want to take his solution a  
step further. His solution was to use the arpeggioBracket on  
hiddenNotes in a chord. I want to create a function that automates this.
However, I seem to be missing something, because the arpeggioBracket  
is missing from the output of this function.

Am I heading in the correct direction?
Am I missing something?

Kind Regards,
Arjan Bos

\version "2.12.0"

barreBracket = #(define-music-function (parser location chord)
                 (ly:music?)
                 #{ \hideNotes
                    \arpeggioBracket
                    \voiceThree
                    \once \override Arpeggio #'padding = #-1.5
                    $chord #(make-music (quote ArpeggioEvent))
                    \unHideNotes
                 #})

\score {
  \context Staff <<
    \context Voice {
      { \time 4/4 \key c \major
        { \barreBracket <a' d''>4 } a'4 d''4
      }
    }
