@beppe posted a new topic, subject "Ossia without tab for guitar with tab". It read:

   I am trying to add an ossia to a guitar part (score and tab) but I want the ossia to show just a score and not the tab.  
    From a similar question at https://forums.steinberg.net/t/converting-tab-to-extra-or-ossia-staff/149186, actually the request is to have the tab and not the score, I deduce that this is not possible. Maybe it is not a good engraving practice, I admit I have no idea.

After which, @gdball (Gregory Ball) added

    As a guitarist I can appreciate it. The best of both worlds for me might be two flows. One with tab that are meant for learning and might have just a few tricky bits illustrated. The pages could still be printed as a set together, depending on what you are making. The tabbed flow could be like front's piece if it is short. At performance time I want ALL of the space back.

Then @Craig_F said

    Not sure what you want.
    
      1. Do you want the ossia in the score and not the part?  
    or
      2. Do you want the ossia to show a notation staff and not a tab staff?

So @beppe replied

    I am sorry I misused the words.  
    My question was supposed to be generic: when I have a fretted instrument with “Notation and Tablature” checked on I would like **the ossia only with the notation and not with the tablature** just to save space.

So @Craig_F replied

    Not a problem. 
    
    The only way around this I can think of, is to have 2 players. One Notation only, the other Tab only. This break the linked Notation/Tab feature and the music will have to be duplicated for both players.
