Haven't been keeping up with this forum for a while ...so glad it is still going!

My question: Having created a few ossia bars, I'm wondering how to have them display properly in, say, a Bb instrument part? Do I just transpose it manually for the parts?

Thanks everyone and good to 'see' you all again!

How did you create the ossia?

Did you add an extra staff, and did you hide it where not needed? - A custom staff style might do the transposition.

Or did you use the Ossia Tool?

I used the Ossia tool and created a scratch staff which I then hid
