Page Assignment for Ossia Measure
How to get there
Click the Ossia Tool . In Page View double-click the location on the page to which you want to attach the "floating measure." The Ossia Designer dialog box appears; click OK.
Or, if an Ossia is already in the score, shift-double-click its handle (Page View only).
What it does
There are two distinctly different kinds of "ossia" measures. One kind of floating measure, called measure-assigned Ossia has a position that remains fixed relative to the measure to which it is attached. The other, called page-assigned Ossia, can be created only in Page View, and is attached permanently to a particular spot on the page, where it will remain even if the "real" music around it changes position. In this dialog box, you specify a page-assigned floating measure’s precise positioning in relation to the page to which it’s attached.
