Re: Ossia: Finale versus Dorico

It's very easy.

Highlight the three measures, select "ossia above" from the context menu, and Bob's your uncle.

Re: Where is the best place to get sheet music perfect bound or saddle stitched?

Very close to 10 X 13, which is common in the US (like a Kalmus or Lucks orchestral part).
