Default Soloists singing same note with different duration

I am trying to put in a music score that includes several soloists and an SATB choir. My focus is on the choir parts but I do need to show the soloists as well. However I don't want to give each soloist a separate stave: in the printed score they all share one stave.

The problem comes when soloists overlap on the same note. Thus I have the situation where Soloist 1 finishes their bit on the first beat of a bar with a whole measure note on E. At the same time Soloist 2 starts on the same beat with an eighth-measure E before launching off into their bit.

In the printed score the whole measure E is printed slightly offset from the eight-measure E - but I cannot find anyway to achieve the same effect in Composer.

Is my only option to fudge it by putting the whole measure note as floating text?
