Re: Horizontal note spacing

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Nick,

> Is this the only solution?

My preference would be to adjust the padding or X-extent of the  
arpeggio directly, e.g.

\version "2.13.3"

arpspace = \once \override Staff.Arpeggio #'X-extent = #'(-13 . 1)

treble = \relative c' {
   a4 \arpspace cis\arpeggio |
   g' cis, |    }

bass = \relative c {
   <e a,>4 <a e a,>\arpeggio |
   <bes d, a> <a e a,> |
}

hidden = \relative c {
   \hideNotes c4 c
}

\score {
   <<
       \context Staff = guitar {
           \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t
           \clef "treble_8"
           \key d \minor
           \time 2/4
           <<
               \context Voice = "1" { \voiceOne \treble }
               \context Voice = "2" { \voiceTwo \bass }
           >>
       }
   >>
   \layout {
       \context {
           \Staff
               \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
       }
   }
}

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
