Frederick,
Does this work?
\version "2.18.0"
\new Staff = "treble" \with { \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" }
<< \relative c'' { \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t \key a\major
<< { \voiceOne e2 \arpeggio a, } \\
{ \voiceThree e4 \arpeggio e e fis8 g } \\
{ \voiceTwo cis,1 \arpeggio } >>
} >>

Subject: Still confused about horizontal shifts in NoteColumns
Running 2.18.2 under Linux, I'm looking to duplicate this:
I currently have this:
I would like to shift the first quarter note a bit to the right, about half as much as the third, but force-hshift and the various \shiftOxxx commands have no effect. (The stems of the quarter and half notes should be noticeably separate.)
Snippet:
\new Staff = "treble" \with { \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" }
<< \relative c'' { \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t \key a\major
<< { e2 \arpeggio a, } \\ { \voiceOne e4 \arpeggio e \shiftOn e fis8 g } \\ { cis,1 \arpeggio } >>
} >>
I get the usual warning -- "ignoring too many clashing note columns". The LM says, at 4.6.1, "If and only if two or more note columns within a single Staff context, both with stems in the same direction, occur at the same musical moment, the values of their horizontal-shift properties are used to rank them and the columns in the higher ranks are progessively offset to avoid collisions of the noteheads."
So -- shouldn't the alignment I want occur automagically?
Or should "both with stems in the same direction" be "all with stems ..."? But whole notes have no stems ... is that the problem?
Thanks!
Fred
