Ossia brackets

I’m trying to replace a “soprano divisi” with an “ossia,” but it’s creating a brace. Is there a way to make it into a bracket like in a full score?

Is it really an ossia, or do you just want to show the soprano parts with a smaller staff size? You could do the latter by adding 2 soprano players and then setting those staves to the same size as an ossia (67%, by default).

It is partially needed, like Ossia.

Does this layout need multi bar rests? If not, you could use this method along with cutaways.

Thanks for the great idea.

If you use cutaways, you’ll see a slight line where you marked it. It seems you can’t cut it perfectly clean, like in an “ossia.”

You can set this in Engraving Options > Cutaways:

Thank you for your reply.
