I thought so. So normally, you would be looking at just a bass line or in the case of a song, melody & bass line, right? Would these sketches be in the bass clef even if they required ledger lines or would they write in another staff?

One ofthe most famous is the beginning of the largo of the Xmas concerto of Corelli, and indeed in Corelli there are figures which shape a line which is not in the parts. You see it in Bach concertos and continuo sonatas as well.
