Down boy. You can also define your own expressions that will behave in the same way, and Sibelius will "read" them properly too. A hidden "arco" is just a lazy means of achieving the same thing when it doesn't matter which particular term is used because no one is going to see it. (I have been known to use it when switching between staccato and ordinary brass samples, for example), and it's an interesting anomaly. Why the rush to pounce?
