Delay is per segment.  Not necessarily a stave, as you can have multiple 
segments on the same staff.  The difference is kind of moot, since all 
the members of a chord have to be in the same segment, so if you had the 
notes in different segments (the new Split by Drum experimental feature 
puts every discrete pitch into its own separate segment, so you could 
accomplish this quickly) you could only fake a chord for notation purposes.

A better way to handle that is no less tedious to set up.  You could 
have the notation duration for all your notes be one thing, a quarter 
note, say, and then you could edit the performance duration of each 
member of the chord to get the arpeggio effect.  This is another one of 
those helpful automations we could do with a proper arpeggiate function, 
but I've never found the time.

In practice, I haven't found the time, because I never bother to tweak 
the MIDI performance to that degree anymore.  If I'm writing for guitar, 
the finished product is going to be a recording of the real thing, and I 
leave a lot of stuff out of the performance MIDI that is tedious to do, 
like strummed chords.
