Re: Too high measure numbers with ossia staff

[Valentin Petzel]

Hi Erika,

a very simple method would be to simply move the Bar_number_engraver from 
Score to the top Staff like this:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove Bar_number_engraver
  }
}

\score{
<<
  \new Staff = "ossia" \with {
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
    \hide Clef
    fontSize = #-3
    \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)
    \override StaffSymbol.thickness = #(magstep -3)
  }
  \new Staff \with { \consists Bar_number_engraver } \music
>>
}

That being said: As long as you do not need multiple ossias in one system you 
can use this much simple method:

\version "2.22"

oss = \markup {\raise #1 "ossia" }

ossiaStaff = \with {
  \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  \omit Clef
  fontSize = #-3
  \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)
  \override StaffSymbol.thickness = #(magstep -3)
}

music = \relative c' {
  c4 b c2

  <<
    { e4 f e2 }
    \new Staff \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" \ossiaStaff } {
      e4^\oss g8 f e2
    }
  >>
  g4 a g2 \break
  c4 b c2
  <<
    { g4 a g2 }
    \new Staff \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" \ossiaStaff } {
      g4^\oss e8 f g2
    }
  >>
  e4 d c2
}


\score{
  \new Staff = "staff" \music
}

If you want to have multiple ossias in one system this will fail, as these 
ossia staves would be put into different lines.

Cheers,
Valentin
