How to get there

Click the Ossia Tool  image\Ossia_Tool.gif. In Page View, double-click the measure to which you want it attached (or double-click if there’s already a floating measure attached to it). The Ossia Designer dialog box appears. Click Attach to Measure; click OK. Or, in Scroll View, click the measure, then click OK in the Ossia Designer dialog box.

Or, if Ossia is already in the score, click the measure to which it’s assigned and shift-double-click its handle.

What it does

There are two distinctly different kinds of "ossia" measures. One kind of floating measure (called a page-assigned ossia measure, which you can create only in Page View) is attached permanently to a particular place on the page, where it will remain even if the "real" music around it is repositioned. The other, called a measure-assigned ossia measure, has a position that remains fixed relative to the measure to which it is attached, even if the measure’s position on the page changes. In this dialog box, you specify a measure-assigned floating measure’s precise positioning in relation to the "real" measure to which it’s attached.
