Frankly, I must have completely misinterpreted your request. It sounded
to me like you were talking about drum-style notes. A OneStaff context
is for putting several contexts which usually would have their own lines
("vertical axis") into one.
Maybe you want to show a hand-drawn sketch of what you want because at
least I have no idea what we are talking about at this point of time.
