The font Caeciliae uses this technique. Sometimes, in running text, the
silhouette of the melody is rendered (AFAIR, one can do it with Bach
font). Some engravers use specialized fonts for notating initial tuning
of timpani , vocal range at the beginning of the score (it is easier to
use a text frame than to fiddle around with additional staves), and for
incipits in transcriptions of early music.
