Hello again,
Having received Rainer Dunker's post and followed up his link to the
list archives, I'm starting to think that this ossia caper is a lot
more trouble than it's worth!
My best bet (read: about the only thing in this whole arcane mess that
I have even half a hope of pulling off) is probably going to be the
TeX box solution. Below is my first try:
8<-----------------------
\input musixtex
\startmuflex
\startpiece
\NOtes\qu{cdef}\en\bar
%
% begin ossia code
%
\newbox\ossiaI
\def\extractline{\setbox\ossiaI\hbox}%
\setsize1\tinyvalue
\startextract
\NOtes\qu{efgh}\en
\endextract
%
\NOtes\zcharnote{x}{%
\loffset 3{~\unhcopy\ossiaI}}\qu{ghij}\en\barre
\NOtes\qu{klmn}\en\barre
\NOtes\qu{opqr}\en
\Endpiece
\endmuflex\bye
8<-----------------------
Problems with this:
1. \bar no longer works after the box is posted! (The alternative
\barre evidently does.)
2. Setting the ossia fragment to a different staff size results in a
complete mess that I haven't, so far, been able to flail my way out
of.
