This would enable you to make an easy adjustment of the length of the arpeggio line based on what LilyPond assigns by default.  Writing

\offset Arpeggio #'positions #'(-1 . 1)

will move each endpoint one staff-space from where it would be ordinarily.

You can (with current development versions) alter just one arpeggio like so:

\once \offset Arpeggio #'positions #'(-1 . 1)

I've attached the file below (with some slight changes from the link Janek directs you to: http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg47077.html)  The examples give a number of other applications, including broken spanners.

[The version for the file is 2.15.41.  Some adjustment would need to be made for 2.14.]

Hope you find this helpful!
