Hi Kieren,
You can explicitly set an arpeggio's start/end positions by overriding the
positions property.
The internals reference is a bit misleading, as the standard property
descriptions mentions left/right only.
For an arpeggio, however, positions holds a pair of lower/upper position
values.
It is calculated by the ly:arpeggio::calc_positions function, and this
function can be used in a custom scheme function just subtracting a given
amount from the lower value and adding the same amount to the upper value.
A simple example, manipulating the "standard" positions by
subtracting/adding correctional values (0 at the lower end, 1 at the upper
end, as requested by you):
%%% MWE begins
\version "2.19.80"
#(define (widen-arp grob)
(let* ((pos (ly:arpeggio::calc-positions grob))
(lower-corr 0.0)
(upper-corr 1.0))
(cons (- (car pos) lower-corr) (+ (cdr pos) upper-corr))))
{
\override Arpeggio.positions = #widen-arp
<c' e' g'>1\arpeggio
}
%%% MWE ends
HTH,
Torsten
