I have finally tried out the two additional suggestions. Somehow I couldn't
make the one with alignBelowContext work: Lily didn't seem to care whether
I put that in or not, the ossia staff would always end up at the bottom of
the string staff group, below the double bass. Worse, when I put the Violin
II in a StaffGroup, this stuff group would include the violas, cellos, and
double basses below it as well but still put the ossia staff at the very
bottom.
