I'll try to explain...

I am producing sheet music for various Afro-Cuban songs. In this context,
one generally relates all songs to clave,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clave_(rhythm). This relationship holds true
regardless of whether someone actually plays the clave rhythm with the song.
It is the Afro-Cuban downbeat, if you will. As such, it is important that
clave is not seen as part of the piece. Instead, it should only be there as
a simple guide that indicates:

1. The variant of clave they should use.
2. How the song relates to clave.

Clearly, this is not a typical ossia but that is the only way I could
determine how to get something close to the desired result. Maybe there is
something better and I'm open to anything. All I want is a rhythmic staff
that I can line up above the first couple of measures. Ideally, it would
have a single stave and non-repeating bars.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Bobby
