Hi, LilyPonders -
I'm running LY 2.19.33 under Win7.
I thought I had the ossia thing licked, and I'm getting close, but I'm not quite there yet. I need dashed span bars between the lower normal staff and the ossia staff. I've tried everthing I could think of, using the LSR and the Notation Reference, but no luck. I could see what I want, but with only a single bar line, in the Notation Reference, and an even better one, but without the staff group in the LSR (
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=125, "Inserting a temporary ossia"). I couldn't figure out how to use either example in my situation.
Here's my code (and I'm attaching the output "
