Hello everyone,
I have to make a copy for this sheet, and it has this detail, I can't imagine how to create it :( :( . Could you suggest to me a solution? :(

Thank you for reading this topic. Have a good day :).

The easiest way (IMO) is to enter another staff through the entire piece. Resize it to 75% or so, and enter your ossia notes. Then, use the staff tool and staff styles to hide whereever it isn’t needed.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn’t.

Ah yes, I think I got your advise. But is there a way to create the dots from the staff above to the under?

Smart Shapes > dotted line. Hold the Shift Key to constrain it to vertical.
