Re: Footnotes for the entire bar

Hi there,

Did you try attaching it to a mark? e.g.

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.11"

\paper {
  tagline = ##f
}

fn_ossia =
#(define-music-function (os music) (pair? ly:music?)
  #{
  \once \override Score.Footnote.annotation-line = ##f
  \footnote \default #os \markup {
    \italic "Ossia:"
    \score {
      \new Staff \with {
        %% Magnification, removing unnecessary elements, ...
      } { #music }
      \layout {
        %% If any of those were set in a higher-level \layout
        ragged-right = ##t
        ragged-last = ##t
        ragged-bottom = ##t
        ragged-last-bottom = ##t
        indent = 0
      }
    }
  } Score.RehearsalMark
  #})

{
  \fn_ossia #'(1 . 3) { c'1 } \mark \markup \null
  c''1
  \fn_ossia #'(1 . 3) { d'1 } \mark \markup \null
  f'1
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
