Hi Lawrence, You know it's been so long since I used the ossia tool that I don't even remember why I decided to avoid it. If I remember correctly (and I could be wrong), there have been various discussions over the years about the ossia tool and most of the comments have been negative. But I'm certainly open to using it -- not using it creates its own problems.
