Change number of staff lines in ossia

Hello — Would like to have a 5-line treble staff in ossia above a three-line TAB staff. Is this possible?

Many thanks

Any ideas? Just checking in… hopefully…

Hi @EnricoBrahms. you can create a duplicate instrument (with 5-lines) that shows only the 5-lines staff (Notation only), while your original instrument shows only the TAB (Tablature only). Using Manual staff visibility, Cutaways, Coordination Lines, and edited instrument name, you can fake your ossia:

Dorico file example (ignore my instrument choice, you can use whatever suits your needs):
fake 5 lines ossia for 3 lines fretted instrument via duplicate.dorico (1.3 MB)
