You may be able to piece something together using ies files.  I couldn’t find a rope version, but it looks like Phillips has a few uninterrupted straight options that you could potentially piece together.

The LBGQxx series might be useful.

I’d like to hear how you make out and what ends up working for you.  Good luck.

That is similar to what I came up with. I created a series of area light segments and rotated each one to follow the curve. Since it was hidden, no fixture was needed. Even though it was linear segments, the up-lighting effects appeared curved and continuous. This was the best solution I could think of and it worked quite well.
