I don't know.
Sorry to trouble you with this but it's something I've wondered about. Being untutored in musical theorey & constantly struggling for arrangement ideas I have a few silly whacky notions such as...
If I play the chord A & someone else plays Am simultaneoulsy but a little more quietly is there any "musical" formal result?
& to show you how really dumb I can be I've often wondered if each section of an orchestra played a sep note from a chord, say F#m, would the result be recognizable as a chord & acceptable musical. I been listening to Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire almost weekly since 1976 so my idea of musically normal isn't quite where it ought to be.
Schoenberg described would you are describing as "Blue notes". They are notes that dont fit in the chordal structure, like C# in an A minor chord. I think he has the best description, technically there could be others depending on the chords before and after the one on question ( like suspensions or extensions etc).
Schoenberg has an obscure arrangement of the famous Blue Danube waltz where he uses what you are describing. In the "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo---tweet tweet------tweet tweet" melody, he does exactly that and puts a minor chord in with the major. "Under" is a dynamic marking, he would merely tell some people to play
piano instead of
forte
In classical music, the chord is not as important as the chord AFTER it. You cant technically name a chord until the next chord comes around, as the note that doesnt fit the first chord may serve a purpose for the second.

knew music conservatory would come in handy SOME day
I just may have a go with some vocals as well!

Ive been outlawed to sing in 49 states, thank God for Ohio and it's low standards.
I bought autotune last year and have yet to really learn it, I think its time to break out the manual.
