How do ossia?
Can anyone advise how best to add "ossia" as shown in these two examples? I've done a quick search and found suggestions this feature was being worked on in 2015, but I've not found how to do it in v2.03:

Add an extra stave for the ossia. Use the Hide Empty Staves feature to hide those parts of the score that do not have ossia. This will hide or show entire lines depending upon whether anything appears or not on the stave on that line. You can also hide individual bars by right-clicking ->Bar Properties etc.
Or just create the ossia separately, use the image capture feature to copy it as a graphic, then paste it into your score.

Thanks - I will try both of these methods.

This is extremely helpful, but I do have a question.
When I save my Ossia as a screen shot, after I add any of them, their staff lines seem to get expanded. Is there a way to avoid this?

I'm not really sure what you mean - it's not clear from the pictures - but I'm guessing maybe you took the screenshot at the wrong resolution for your purpose. Also, it's not clear how you took the screenshot. Best is to use the image capture tool built in to MuseScore (the camera icon on the toolbar). If you set it to 360 DPI resolution, it matches the original in size, for easy pasting.

Thanks Marc, I used the musescore camera, and it captured the proper image. the Original screen shot came out perfect. But as I attach it, it seems to extend the lines from the sides. However, Shoichi just introduced me to the Cutaway option which is exactly perfect for what I need!
