Hi,

The setting to allow for more space between staves in galley view, this one:

doesn’t seem to be affecting ossia staves, which can create messy results, like in this example:

As a side but related issue - it would be very handy to have an option that allows for ossia staves to play back…in fact my specific problem is that I am keeping a hidden staff where I copy all the music that is in the ossia, in order to listen to it and include it in the playback…would you say that could be a possibility in future updates?

Thanks!

I think this would need to play back the ossia staves but also mute the main staves at those points, since the point of an ossia is that it’s an alternative to the principal line and would never be played along with it.

Thanks @asherber - I don’t entirely agree on this for the specific use I am making of ossias. An option would allow for any possible scenario I guess (e.g. just allowing the “suppress playback” option to take effect for them as well)
