Problem with arpeggio's

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi all,

I'm transcribing a piano piece that ends with arpeggiated chords, both in the upper and the lower staff, but not connected across the staves.

Here is approximately what the final chords should be, approximately because also the top note in the upper staff should be part of the arpeggio:

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Testsnippet:

\version "2.19.58.1" 

\score { 

\new PianoStaff %\with { connectArpeggios = ##t }

<<

\new Staff = "upper"

% \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t

<<

%\set PianoStaff.connectArpeggios = ##t

\set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t

  {\clef "treble" \key f \minor \time 6/8

\stemUp f'''4.  f''4.\arpeggio | %P1V1-83

f''2. \arpeggio \bar "|." | %P1V1-84

}

  {\clef "treble" \key f \minor \time 6/8

\stemDown < as'' c''' >4. < c' f' as' c'' >4. \arpeggio | %P2V1-83 

< c' f' as' c'' >2. \arpeggio | %P2V1-84

}

>>

\new Staff = "lower"

 {\clef "bass"  \key f \minor \time 6/8

f4.\stemDown  < f, c as >4. \arpeggio | %P4V1-83

< f, c as >2.\arpeggio | %P4V1-84

}

>>

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I have two problems:

1 In its present state my  .ly file of the complete piece does no produce the arpeggios at all. I have no idea why not; I never before I encountered this problem.

2 The testsnippet  does produce the arpeggio's but I do not know how to connect the arpeggio's in the individual staves staff without connecting them across the staves. I played with the various " \set Staff.connectArpeggios"-options in the snippett but none of them gave me the desired result.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best regards,
