The confusion arises because \*Up, \*Down, \*Neutral are generally used for directions -- ie above or below the staff. There's two decisions to make: 1. Should we re-use these direction-commands to produce non-direction symbols? I would say no. 2. If not, how do we indicate the 5 states listed above? \arpeggioNormal \arpeggioPointUp \arpeggioPointDown \arpeggioBracket \arpeggioParenthesis I'm not wild about the second and third names... but then again, typing "Point" isn't such a big deal, and these commands aren't used too often anyway. I think the corresponding reduction in confusion is worth it.
