In the past, when I've had to indicate rolled chords on the piano, I've 
used the arpeggio articulation, which has been a real pain -- it never 
appears in the correct place, and I have to remember which handle stretches 
it and which handle moves it, and if I want to adjust it, I have to 
remember which note it's attached to.

Now I notice that one of the custom smart shapes looks just like an 
arpeggio indication. (I'm on Fin2003, but this may have come in earlier.) 
It's really easy to position just so, and easy also to select to edit or 
delete.

Are there any hidden pros or cons to this method? It occurs to me that 
there might be some spacing issues, in that the articulation will remain a 
fixed distance from the note it's attached to, while the smart shape might 
maintain a proportional distance, depending on the spacing. I'm not 
interested in any playback effects, just visual ones.

Thanks,
Aaron.
