Well, in 2009 Neil Puttock said you can't, and said why.

If that still applies, you will need a workaround.


The X-offset workaround suggested there seems very fragile.

So here is a hack that hangs a markup on the left side of the ossia.
It needs some fine tuning, but should illustrate the principle.


Cheers,
Robin
