Drum kit and ossia staff

Dorico

Hi!
I have looked up the forum and found out, that its not possible to add an ossia staff to a kit staff. Is there any practical workaround?

In my project I have a percussionist who is handling 13 instruments – pitched as well as unpitched ones. So its a combination of a kit and different instruments. I want to place an ossia staff to some places in order to show the melody or so, while she/he is playing something weird or has to change the instruments aso … (I don’t talk about cues in rest bars)

Is there any possibility?
Thx!

I think you could add an extra player to the layout and use the staff visibility feature as a (rather clumsy) workaround?
