But there is a notation for multiple stops that looks like a chord with
notes
of different duration. See e.g. Gardner Read, Example 23-12 (p.389):

To quote Gardner Read: "Chord notation for string instruments often
appears
incorrect to the non-string player."
* But Gardner Read is not an authority on music notation. There is no
such
person.
As a violin can only play one note, the other notes of the chord needs
to be
arpeggiated, and the chord notation shows which note will last and which
will
only sound for a short time.
* The note to "last" can easily be in a melody part and have its
own stem. That makes it easier to visually separate the melody
from the self-accompaniment. Regards, daveA
