Arpeggios across notes in different voices

[Dirck Nagy]

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
