Why can't I make the arpeggio (or also used for glissandos) expression stay beside the chord? Even when I create it in scroll view, it always has moved to a different place when I return to the program.

Also, is there any way to make a curved line that goes up and down like an "S" in PrintMusic?

Thanks for the answer about using the "expressions" tool to save new expressions. I'll try that.

They aren't really the same thing. The gliss is a smart shape, and will move around. If you use the arpeggio articulation (# 28) that should take care of the problem.

I'm not sure about the other. Can you post a picture?
