Re: position of ossia staff

[Mats Bengtsson]

Do you mean something like this?

\score{
  \context GrandStaff = gs \notes \relative c''<
    \context Staff=aa {s1}
    \context Staff=bb {s1*3}
    \context Staff=cc {s1}
    \context Staff=aa {a1 a \break
      <{a a} \context Staff=bb {b b}>}
    \context Staff=cc {c1 c c c}
  >
\paper{
  \translator{\HaraKiriStaffContext}
}
}

The trick is to define all the contexts from the beginning of the piece,
since they will appear in the order they are defined. Then you have to
keep the sleeping contexts "alive" until they are used.
