Conversely, if your modus operandi is the rolled chord (which I personally don't condone, nor do I enjoy the sound when used in excess), then sounding all notes of a chord simultaneously becomes a way to make a chord different in some way. Not quite lute, but Carcassi stated that all chords should be rolled in his early 19th-c. guitar method.
