Support arpeggiated chords

In sheet music, a zig-zag line next to a chord indicates arpeggiation, and means that the notes of the chord should be played in quick sequence rather than at once.

        YES. I always use arpeggiated chords when I write at the piano, but I can never translate that to noteflight.

        It's been annoying me because I've needed this increasingly often. I suggested it but maybe I can delete now I've seen this. Maybe they'll see how urgently we need it! xD

        Really surprised that this isn't already a feature. Seems like a rudimentary thing for a music notation software to have and i don't imagine it being that hard to write code for it.

        And even though you can achieve the same effect with grace notes, it looks ugly... please update this soon!

        This is crucial for a song i have to write to make the effect I want to in the song and is used often in other well-known pieces such as LIzst's Liebestraum No 3.

        I'm so glad they're planning on doing these. I've REALLY needed arpeggiated chords, codas, etc. I'm so glad this will be added!!! :D

        I fully agree... I only noticed this when I was transcribing a melody of mine into noteflight and noticed that the last chord lost meaning without an arpeggio.. IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT AND URGENT FEATURE!!

        i've been writing songs and i need the arpeggiated chords. They make chords sound alot better in my opinion. (of course it depends on wat ur writing)
