I've seen X heads for solid rhythmic values and diamonds for half and
whole notes, with cresc. and dim. wedges. No need for a special clef,
and it usually happens on the middle line of whatever clef we already
happen to be in (trombones!)

The large orchestral piece I'm working on now calls for this effect
through most of it, in all of the brass and woodwinds (w/o
mouthpieces or reeds depending on instrument), mostly p or mp. He
notated this in his manuscript with a clef (since it's large
sections, not just a note here and there). I've never come across
this before, so I simply followed his notation and created a custom
clef as a vertical rectangle, sort of like a percussion rectangular
clef, but larger. The notes just lie on the middle line, as there
are no pitches specified.
Since this has coincidentally come up today, I figure I should ask,
is this is a notation others have seen?

IIRC Ligeti calls on his brass players in Atmosphères to blow air
through the instruments without any definite pitch or
characteristic brass instrument sound. Does anyone here know of
others who have done this, and what the limits are? (You'd think
having been a brass player I'd know this, but nothing comes to
mind at the moment.)
