FR: Tokens in ossia custom labels

I have a Bb clarinet layout with a couple of ossias for Eb clarinet. It would be nice to be able to use the {@flat@} token in the custom ossia text in Layout Options.

I support this motion!

Not ideal, and pretty ugly, but the Ossia staff label font set to bravura, and pasting in the b glyph.

Or Bravura text:

Hi @asherber, possibly a local manual solution would serve your needs? (Custom text with MusGlyphs):


Dorico file example:
musglyphs text for ossia.dorico (1.3 MB)

(This is also because a global setting in Layout Options would influence all ossias in that layout, in case you have other players involved)

Oh, sure – I worked this out with regular staff text like this. It doesn’t even need MusGlyphs, can just use Insert Music Text for the flat sign.

But general availability for tokens in various text fields would be potentially pretty useful…
