It's hacky and weird. Use the text tool. Choose type "LilyPond Directive" and insert an "Arp." That prints the squiggly arpeggio symbol on the score. I never gave Rosegarden the ability to represent this natively, and no one else ever bothered either, so this is what we've got.

In this instance, I could just make C a Somebody did a feature request for that fairly recently. I have no plans to implement it myself. Our key signature support model is based on the MIDI standard, tonic pitch, number of accidentals, major or minor. I did a little research, and Finale didn't support non-standard key signatures until 2009. It had been under development for 21 years at that point. Everything I've ever seen in D harmonic minor is just written with a D minor key signature and the sharps spelled out manually. > A pianist can also arpeggiate, though.

In my own work, if I'm focusing on the score, the performance is secondary. If I'm focusing on the performance, the score is secondary. Sometimes I have two sets of parts in the same file, because even as good as Rosegarden is at letting you have a good performance and tidy notation, it isn't THAT good. It would take way more than arpeggio support to fix that, though I admit arpeggios are definitely the biggest case that comes to mind where good performing data is going to display like crap on the screen, and good looking data is going to perform like crap. Maybe it's worth more attention. Then again, the other reason I never went there is there are two ways to approach the problem. The easy thing is to have an arpeggio function that does what it does, and if you don't like what it does, oh well. That's not going to fly, and I know it. What that boils down to is having to write some dialog so you can set up exactly HOW Rosegarden does the arpeggio. Even steps, different curves, fast roll, slow roll. Complication up the bazzoo, and math math math. I don't know how to calculate no logarithmic dingleflummy Miss Scarlet, I is just a truck driver with a liberal arts degree. If you can't please everyone, displeasing everyone works too, and it's the easiest and fastest way to go. :-D -- D.
