Hmm. I take your point, John, but I'm quite sure that I'm not inventing this notation and that I've seen it in other scores. I want to say it was in vocal music, where the voice has a few melismatic notes over a held note in the accompaniment. That would be a situation very similar to the one I have, except that the vocal notes weren't dictated.
