For violin music I've use a downward arrow on top of the chord for
those chords which have to be played such a way that one of the
lower notes should sound last and longer:

  page 10, line 6 right half, bars 19-20

I've just typeset another small sample to be used on Paul Gabler's
famous WWW-pages about La Folia http://people.a2000.nl/pgabler/
It's music for flute solo with chords. In the manuscript the composer
used an upward arrow on top of the arpeggio line, which I reproduced:

So I think the same could be done with a downward arrow at the bottom
of the arpeggio line.
