I suppose, what you mean is precisely "spelling out" the arpeggio as
also suggested below?

Yes, that works of course (and is what I meant in my original post
with "spelling out") -- however, in my case especially the tie of the
top-most note looks quite ugly since it crosses the beams of my three
grace notes.  Engraving them without beam also looks (IMHO) not nice.

But that's what I've used so far.  I was hoping there's an "easy" way
to put the text there, but if not I'll probably just stay with this
solution.  But I'll also look into the fingering section, maybe I can
find something there as suggested.

Thanks for the hints!

Daniel
