broken interval for violin score
Hello! Can you see the crescent-shaped pencil line connecting the E and the A (treble clef)? It is intended to indicate, for violin, that the lower note is to be played first. How should such an intention be notated? Many thanks for your help!

The usual way to notate a chord like that is with an "arpeggio" symbol from the corresponding palette.

Ah yes, those also can have a direction
As a grace note maybe?

Good point. I think the distinction would be, a grace note would indicate note played quickly bfore the top note, so you don't actually hear both at once, while the arpeggio might indicate a double-stop (both notes at once) in which you happen to make the bottom one sound first but then they overlap. In practice I'm not so sure that would be fully understood either.

You can enter a round bracket symbol from the master palette or as special text is staff text, which allows you to resize it if needed.

Ah! Ok, I switched to a crescent shape which I found in the symbol set on the computer, perhaps a curvier parenthesis.
