After an evening of screwing around with one session, I convinced the director to lay down the complete audio track and then insert video as needed.  That worked fine.  I think it was an older CMX 340?? You can fool your eyes, but not your ears.

Depending on the type of music, doing video-only inserts could be troublesome.
As I recall, during a video insert, the heads recorded across the full width of the tape, and relatively quiet passages could sometimes be heard with a bit of 960Hz buzz in the background.
Didn't some machines later on switch video record off on each head as it passed over the longitudinal audio track to eliminate this?
