Staff snippet
I am engraving a piece for harp, and would like to include a Performance Note which includes a snippet of staff (to list pitches scordatura). I'm guessing that I can do this by creating a secondary file with the snippet, use an image capture, and then paste the image into a frame, text or horizontal. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?

Cutaway staves are indeed the easy way if the notes are intended to align with another measure. But sometimes for some more particular unusual effect you might need to use images, It's easy enough, just use the Image Capture tool at the right side of the main toolbar. Define your region, Ctrl+C, then select the frame you want to paste into, Ctrl+V.

It isn't aligned with the main staves, but rather a "quote" embedded in a (text) paragraph. It sounds like I'm on the right track, I'll just have to play around to get the look I want. I haven't actually started engraving the score yet, so I can't attach an image or file.
