certain ornaments wouldn't make sense either on a chord or in a chord --
a trill for example:

<c1\trill a e,> or <c1 a e,>\trill -- neither makes sense...

as a performing musician i play chords which do have an ornament on them
(staccato, fermata, ...) the same way as i would play a single note in
the same context. 

in brass music it is quite common in sinlge voices which are played by
more than one musician for chords to be written. in this case, if the
chord has an articulation, then each player will play "his" note with
this articulation.

i can understand that some articulations would be pointless in a chord
context from a performing point of view, but some, however, are
regularly used.

greetings,
simon.
