It seems ridiculously picky to notate the value of each note using voices, or layers, and I may be being overly picky even with this notation. How is this done in piano music.
No one addressed this part of your question, but as for me--a pianist of 50+ years--I'd say you are indeed being mighty picky. If you want certain, specific rhythms, seems to me you find a place for them within the beat structure of the measures involved. And then you'll get those "certain, specific rhythms."
What you won't get, though, is the musicality of a roll. An artistic pianist can do those in a way that would almost defy capturing them in notation but which would be musical. That's why there's a need for that rolled-chord symbol in the first place.
I guess I don't get what it is you're after that beats the randomness, but artistic randomness, of a rolled chord as played by the pianist.
