This is excellent! Good find! But tell me if I have this right: This only works across multiple staves, right? Meaning, if you're making a chord in a nonpercussion instrument, you couldn't use this method to arpeggiate the chord, right?
If that's case, I wonder if it could be extended that way. In the piece I recently wrote here about, I made an arpeggio using 16th notes or something like that, but I'd rather leave the arpeggiation up to the musician.
