Stich notes in parts implemented in a score
Hi,
I hope you in the West had a good Pentecost. I haven been going from pillar to post to look for a score which has parts and where you find stich notes in it. If you have such a score, I would be happy if you showed me where I could find it.
Greetings,
Wolfram

Do you have a picture of what a "stich note" would look like?

incipit or ossia is the term I think
Actually rather "cue note" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stichnote)
Add them in another voice (like voice 3, as that has stems up) and make the note silent and the chord small in Inspector

Here is a snap shot. It is "Alle meine Entchen", in English "All my ducks" and here are stitch notes of the violin part called "Violine" here. I have written "stich notes", but "stitch notes" is correct. "Stimme" means voice.
My test compositions, which I do not display here, are all in German as it is my mother tongue.

Those are indeed called "cue notes" in English. As Jojo mentions above, the usual way is to use an unused voice (such as voice 3) and then mark those notes as "small" in the chord section of the inspector. Likely also uncheck "play" from them.

Thank you. English language is not my mother tongue, although I was in America in 1989 when I was 14 years old.

Musical terms are quite a different set of the vocabulary one usually learns in school or abroad.
I sort of grew up to those via MuseScore, so am often more familiar with the English terms and struggle to find the corresponding German translation, regardless being a German native speaker ;-)
BTW: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/glossary might be helpful here (although cue notes are not mentioned there, not yet)

Sharing that score would be more helpful, with we could show you how to do it rathet hna just explaining it
Select those 3 measures and swap voice 1 and 3 is basically all that's needed here
"Voice" has multiple meanings, same for the German "Stimme", we're not talking about vocal (singing voice) here in this context though, but about rhythmical independant sets of notes played at the same/overlapping times.
