Mats, Simon - Thanks for the pointers. Yesterday I had no idea - now this thread shows several ways. Here's another.

The best option I can think of is to start the ossia Staff context at the top of the score, beginning with \skip 1*24 or whatever, and use the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext feature so it isn't printed until the score line where you have the ossia. This won't let you have an ossia that starts in the middle of a line, but at least if it's in the middle of a long piece, you can add a \break to make sure that it starts at the beginning of a score line, if you think that looks better. /Mats _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
