Thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately, if I wanted to convert an existing ".ly" file either from
one that uses \arpeggio to one that uses \midiArpeggio or vice versa, I
still couldn't do it with a tool like some sort of "Find and replace".
Unlike \arpeggio which is given after the notes of the chord,
\midiArpeggio needs to be used before them. So I'm afraid I would still
have to rewrite it manually for each single chord. And if I wanted to
avoid doing it all manually, I would have to know how to write code that
would do it for me (which I have no idea which programming language
would be the most appropriate for doing something of that sort).
