Hi,

nice work.
One thought: I think the final chord should have more padding to the
left, i.e. it should be moved to the middle of the bar.
I once wrote a code to do that.
see:

the coding:

Though, it doesn't work anymore, because nowadays there is no pointer
from NoteColumn to its Arpeggio anymore, at least I found none.
My question about it misses any reply so far.

You could try overriding NoteColumn 'X-offset, this will affect other
spacing, though.

See:

\relative c' {
    \clef bass
    \key g\major
    g'16(^\markup \italic "sim."
      a, d, a') g'( a,) g'( a,) g'( a, d, a') g'( a,) g'( a,)
    fis'( c d, c') fis( c) fis( c) fis( c d, c') fis( c) fis( c)
    \override Staff.NoteColumn.X-offset = #3
    \override Script.padding = #0.4
    \arpeggioArrowUp <g, b' g'>1\ff\fermata\arpeggio
    \bar "|."
}

A little more padding for the fermata is added, too.


Cheers,
  Harm
