IWBNI it were possible to numerically specify the initial position of articulations for which Copy the Main Symbol is checked on the Articulation Designer dialog box.

The following Positions on the Articulation Designer dialog box could be made available when Copy the Main Symbol is checked: On Note Side, On Stem Side, Above Note and Below Note. Also, an edit control called Default Horizontal Position could be added.

With such settings, rolled-chord and trill articulations could be positioned automatically.

As it is now, the bottom left corner of the lowest (leftmost) character of an articulation that is copied Vertically (Horizontally) is initially set to the position in the score that was double-clicked in order to attach the articulation.
