I’m trying to recreate this bar- the entire orchestra is in 4/4 but the piano has this aleatoric figure. What is the best way to input this?
Make an 18:8 tuplet, input 8ths, and beam it together when it’s done. You can hide the tuplet number and bracket using the properties panel.

Do you need the “cantilevered” beam extension on the right end?
Ideally yes
There might be an answer in this thread from last month:
Maybe @Coranglais16’s in post #4?
As was said: a hidden 18:8e tuplet.
The beam extension is done by writing one more eighth, beaming it to the others, and then hiding its notehead and stem. If you want, you can suppress playback for the (hidden) helper note.
