I'm not happy about placing the predefs on the same line
as the notes, but I take your point.  Instead, I've placed a
blank line between the several chords, like this:

<c e g c>2\arpeggio

\arpeggioArrowUp
<c e g c>2\arpeggio

\arpeggioArrowDown
<c e g c>2\arpeggio

\arpeggioNormal
<c e g c>2\arpeggio

which I think makes the separation equally clear.

I've done the same for the following example too.

Thanks for the comment!
