Certainly you're right about the possibility of artistic expression
of defined rhythms. We'd be in trouble if not. Even if this guy
figures out how to do what he wants, I wonder what the pianist will
do when he or she gets to that spot. "Huh?" comes to mind.
Maybe if I could see it...hint hint...to see what it would look like
in context, and, by the way, how the composer's intentions would be
communicated to the pianist. Seems to me you have to bridge the duck
syndrome (waddles like a rolled chord, quacks like a rolled chord...)

You know, it's not like there is only one way of playing a notated
rhythm, even a specifically notated one meant to be played
accurately. Written rhythms are in no way inherently less "musical"
than a roll -- unless the player in question has no rhythmic
authority and no emotional connection to rhythm.
