Re: Arpeggio crossing multiple staves overlaps with previous note

Hi Thomas

If you add

\override Arpeggio.padding = #6

before the upper arpeggios the spacing will improve. However, you will notice that if you use d natural instead of d flat that the problem disappears. I have no idea why lilypond is not taking notice of the accidental to space the arpeggio correctly. So this is a workaround.

On a topic that may save you much grief, why are you using an exceptionally old version of lilypond 2.12.13? It’s up to you, but people on the list are unlikely to be able to support your queries with such an old version. [Hasn’t this come up before?] Surely you can use at least the current stable version 2.18.2.

For what it’s worth, this issue also shows in 2.19.42.

Hope this helps a little bit. Others will know the true answer!
