Creating cross-staff arpeggios in a piano staff

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Good day!

 

The online documentation (version 2.16, Notation Reference 1.3.3) gives this snippet.

 

\new PianoStaff \relative c'' <<

  \set PianoStaff.connectArpeggios = ##t

  \new Staff {

    <c e g c>4\arpeggio

    <g c e g>4\arpeggio

    <e g c e>4\arpeggio

    <c e g c>4\arpeggio

  }

  \new Staff {

    \clef bass

    \repeat unfold 4 {

      <c,, e g c>4\arpeggio

    }

  }

>> 

 

1.       Which of these lines (discounting change of pitch and duration) should be used?

2.       Where in an already started Piano score should they be inserted?

 

Thank you for your kind attention.
