This topic has been nagging at me because I was sure I'd seen that
notation somewhere, but couldn't for the life of me remember where. My
brain has finally disgorged the information, and while it seems that
the notation I remember has nothing to do with the topic at hand, I
thought I'd pass it on anyway, just in case.
In Couperin's table of ornaments, a curve with a loop in it (placed
over a note, like a fermata) indicates that the note is to be played
slightly later than its notated position. But he only actually used
this ornament a very few times, apparently concluding that this common
expressive device was best left up to the player.
As I said, I don't see what connection this can possibly have to the
matter at hand, but there it is: the same symbol.
