There are a couple of ways to do that. One is with the ossia tool, where you make a dummy measure at the end of your piece that contains the source material for your ossia measure, and then link the ossia to that measure. That’s all explained in the manual for using the tool.
The other way that you could do it is create an additional staff, only put the music that you want to in the one measure you need it, and then optimize your systems. The rest of the lines will go away and you’ll be left with just one line of extra music. Apply a Hide Staff Staff Style to the measures that don’t include your ossia, and you’d be good to go. As far as extraction goes, I’m not sure about the ossia, but you could ask the part extractor to extract both the real staff and the dummy staff that you made to one part, (you’ll then just have to optimize again in the part).

Let's say you have a score.
But there are two possible ways of reading some measures
and you want to include the alternative one above what you have but in a smaller format.
How would you go about doing this?
And if you do this to the score, and go to extract parts
will this alternative measure get placed correctly on the parts page?
And you just want a single measure above what you have, the one with the "alternate" notes, not an entire line.
Thank you!
