I guess that this happens because when you play a real guitar and want to
strum the strings you need to run your finger at them one by one in a rapid
succession. At least when I try to simulate the guitar sound on the
keyboard, I press first the lower note of the chord, then a few miliseconds
later the next one, and so on until I get to the highest note. I think that
in real life the start value of the first notes do stay a little before the
next ones... But guitar players could explain this better...

Hello list,
I do not know how many of you know about this, but I am going to mention
this because I just learned about it, and thought i might pass this on.
This might be useful if you are orchestrating a piece and the piece calls
for such a notation for piano or harp. Well, I was inputting the notes
into the computer using Braille Music Editor, but the notes for the harp
were not strummed Instead, they were hammered. So what I did, was I
experimented around and eventually I figured out that if you change the
start value by a few decimals, you can make it sound like a strum in a
certain arpeggio and have that note held. This might be useful in guitars,
though I think those are automatically strummed depending on what kind of
a synthesizer you are using.
Anyhow I thought i might pass this along.
