Also (unrelated to V1/V2 vs. layers), for whatever reason, I could not reliably get the thing to roll from bottom to top in two staves. I quickly learned that you have to place the articulation in the bottom staff and have to very carefully position it so that the articulation is adjacent to all the notes you want rolled. But it isn't reliable.
Anyway, in some cases I had to use use blank notation to get this worked out, as it could be done only with layers (and not V1/V2) and then I had some cases where I needed to roll notes in both voices as one chord. It got kind of messy, as is often the case with the playback of V1/V2.
A few weeks ago we discussed several ways to get chords in two staves to roll from the bottom to the top. I just came up with a new way to do it that might be the easiest solution of all. Create a duplicate of the roll sign articulation and change the numbers for "Change attack" so that the top note value is 256 and the bottom note value is 0. Apply this to the right hand notes and the default one to the left hand notes. You can connect the two roll marks by selecting the lower handle of the right hand one and holding down the down arrow until the two are joined. Once you have created the first grand staff chord, you copy its performance data to other chords.
This rolls the chord slightly before to slightly after the beat. If you want the whole chord to roll before the beat, use the MIDI tool to "add" -256 to the attack times for both chords.
Of course, if you want the large chords to roll slower, you would could substitute 512 for 256 in all the settings.
Try it - it's fun!
