A page-assigned ossia measure, which you create in Page View, remains fixed to a given place on the page, regardless of any repositioning of the music around it. In this dialog box, you can specify a page-assigned floating measure’s precise positioning in relation to the page to which it’s attached. See Ossia.
- Distance From Top of Page: H: • V:. Use these text boxes to determine the precise position of the floating measure in relation to the margins of the page to which it’s attached. A positive H: (horizontal) number moves the measure to the right; a positive V: (vertical) number moves the measure upward. You can also position the ossia by dragging its handle once you’ve returned to the score. If H: and V: are both zero, the floating measure is squarely superimposed on the intersection of the top and left page margins.
- Measure Width. Use this text box to determine the horizontal width of the floating measure. The Left Margin and Right Offset values in the Ossia Measure Designer dialog box are measured in relation to this master width measurement.
