Reference information:
You said it was just one instance, so without seeing all the text, and whether one word would apply, I leave you with the reference.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adorno_(música)
Los adornos u ornamentos musicales son florituras que no son necesarias para llevar la línea general de la melodía (o armonía), pero que sirven para decorar esa línea. Se trata de recursos que pueden ser utilizados en las composiciones con el objeto de imprimirles a éstas expresión, ornamento, variedad, gracia o vivacidad. Muchos adornos se interpretan como "notas rápidas" en torno a una nota principal. El nivel de ornamentación en una pieza de música puede variar desde bastante recargada, lo cual era frecuente en el Barroco, hasta relativamente escasa o casi inexistente.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament_(music)
In music, ornaments or embellishments are musical flourishes—typically, added notes—that are not essential to carry the overall line of the melody (or harmony), but serve instead to decorate or "ornament" that line (or harmony), provide added interest and variety, and give the performer the opportunity to add expressiveness to a song or piece. Many ornaments are performed as "fast notes" around a central, main note.
