I've been gigging since 1960 and I never heard of such a thing. Of course,
it's extremely rare to write out the notes by name as you did, instead of
writing them on the staff with note values. When I first looked at your
transcription I thought there would probably be no way to guess the song
without note values, but since the first 7 notes are all quarter notes and
next couple of notes fall easily into place, it was immediately
recognizable.
