Re: Multiple-staff ossia

[wjm]

Greetings,
A possible solution using a markup, I guess, although it is a somewhat 
messy solution requiring a bit of fiddling with the numbers indicated.
The numbers chosen depend on the length of the required staff-name in 
the markup. If the X value doesn't move the markup far enough to the 
left the Y value has no effect
Hope this helps
Regards
Bill
