Ossia measure for an a2 (a due) passage

[GregoryAnderson]

I know that player condensing gets turned off for bars with ossia. I have one page of a full score that has a short ossia for so many instruments, I am out of vertical space. To be clear, what I need is

in full score, but something like

in parts.

Is there any way to get there?
Thanks!

Hi @GregoryAnderson, I don’t have a suggestion using ossia staves, but sometimes, for such little ossia changes, I use cue sized notes and a clarification text. It uses very little space and condenses nicely:

Interesting! Thank you.
