Seems like a good way to approach it. I prefer the format I use in some work 
I've, but primarily because I was writing pieces with shifting polymetrics and 
preferred to make everything rather obvious. But the idea you mention does seem 
appropriate where the emphasis in the score is not on the rhythm and something 
more discreet is desired.
