What it does

There are two distinctly different kinds of "ossia" measures. One kind of floating measure (called a page-assigned ossia measure, which you can create only in Page View) is attached permanently to a particular place on the page, where it will remain even if the "real" music around it is repositioned. The other, called a measure-assigned ossia measure, has a position that remains fixed relative to the measure to which it is attached, even if the measure’s position on the page changes. In this dialog box, you specify a measure-assigned floating measure’s precise positioning in relation to the "real" measure to which it’s attached.
