The arrows are also sometimes used to indicate how to play a chord on monophonic instruments, and the arpeggio notation sometimes has an arrowhead too. It would be very unfortunate to treat these like grace notes in midi, because the last chord or note should be accented, not the first. It would be better yet to be able to choose between the two behaviors, but almost always other music, such as Mozart's "Alla Turca", should be performed the same way, toward the beat. If you don't believe me, try it. > (beginning with ring-finger and ending with the > thumb)- in other words the Rasgueado... Ending with the index. The thumb down (up arrow) in this circumstance might very rarely be found on the last chord of a piece, never anywhere else. The standard notation is so bad (too many vertical lines) that you might take a look at tengtr.pdf on my website. My way is easier to note and much easier to read. daveA -- Paying more at the gas pump?
