Leonard is correct. The event share is exported in the Gedcom as part of the primary person.
The problem is that no other pieces of software other than RootsMagic and Legacy, know how to handle the data in the Gedcom when importing that data. Just because the data is in gedcom format, doesnt mean the software KNOWS what to do with it. A snippet of a gedcom might look like this 0 @I793@ INDI 1 NAME Martin Albert /Peters/ 2 GIVN Martin Albert 2 SURN Peters 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE 9 Sep 1878 2 PLAC Appleton, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA 1 DEAT 2 DATE 2 Aug 1960 2 PLAC Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA 1 EVEN 2 TYPE 1920 Census 2 DATE 1920 2 PLAC Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA 2 NOTE Listed as Head of Household age 42. 2 _SHAR @I908@ 3 ROLE son 2 _SHAR @I909@ 3 ROLE daughter 2 _SHAR @I697@ 3 ROLE wife 2 _SHAR @I907@ 3 ROLE son 1 OCCU Unknown 2 DATE Bef 2 Aug 1960 1 CHAN 2 DATE 6 Dec 2013 3 TIME 11:09 1 FAMS @F345@ 1 NOTE @NI793@ So within the events for Martin, it lists the persons that event is shared with and their role. The gedcom does not list the event within the events of each of the shared persons. Hope that helps clear things up.
