"Floating" notes without affecting spacing

Hello everyone,

I need to input to Dorico a number of little notes without noteheads above a staff, something like this:

and I cannot find any satisfactory solution. The one found out is to input the notes as another voice (second upstem voice in this case) as a tuplet, hide noteheads and rescale as Cue, but regardless of the rhytmic value I input, the note spacing is way too wide.

Could somebody help me to find a better and more efficient solution? It will appear many times in the work and I wanted to save as much time as possible…

Thank you!

Perhaps create a Playing technique from an SVG graphic slice.

Or a (hidden) tuplet that squeezes the notes a bit closer to each other?

Tried that, but couldn’t get a good result.
