Re: Ossia above staff

[Hans Forbrich]

I second that, together with an offer for a modest amount of funding. 

Note that the ossia samples to which I have access include the following 
features:

1) above the 'master' 
2) smaller font
3) may start at location other than bar line
4) dashed lines (lined up with bar lines) join master to ossia

Samples are in Schirmer's Operatic Anthology (Vol V - bass).  let me know if 
copies are required.
