You are correct on both counts! I'm embarrassed because the free text solution had occurred to me and then I promptly forgot it...although to have it as an actual ornament like the appeggio mark would be way cool . As for the brackets under the notes, you are correct. Unfortunately, those brackets would need the capability to 1) sometimes be over or under the notes (or beam) and 2) rise and fall with the beam shape. I didn't ask for that because I figured the bracket ornament would be much easier to accomplish (the REQs would be almost identical to the arpeggio mark). I'm a sly one. Thanks for the quick response!!
