For violin music I have used a downward arrow above the chord for those
chords which have to be played "downward" so that one of the lower notes
sounds latest and longer. e.g.:

For Paul Gabler's famous WWW-site http://people.a2000.nl/pgabler/
on "La Folia" just now I've typeset another small sample. It's
music for flute solo. In the manuscript the composer used an upward
arrow on top of the arpeggio line to indication the direction:

So I think a downward arrow below the arpeggio line can be used to
indicate a downward arpeggio.

I used the arrows of TeX's math mode.
