Dirck I copied and pasted the code in the body of your e-mail.
Was there a different MWE or attached file?

Hi Mark
Thanks for the reply, but I think you might have viewed the wrong file?
The LilyPond file i submitted should look like this: only one chord.

Dirck,
The two chords are of different duration.
\consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" is not needed.

Subject: Arpeggios across notes in different voices
Hello all
I am trying to extend an arpeggio line to cover the entire chord in the example below.
I have tried using this:
{
\consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
}
and this:
\set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t
<<
{ <e' g>4\arpeggio <d f> <d f>2 }
\\
{ <d, f>2\arpeggio <g b>2 }
>>
as given in Reference 1.3.3, but I cannot make it work.
I understand the work-around for this example would be to notate all notes in a single voice, but i have other situations where this can not be done.
If anyone has time, could someone add the proper sequence & syntax to my example, please? I think i could figure it out from there.
Thank you all so much!
Dirck
