What is on the staff paper
Each staff has five lines with a short line closing each end. The staves are spread evenly down the page inside a half-inch margin, with room above and below each one for notes on ledger lines. The size is the space between two staff lines: Small is 5.4 points, so its staff is about 7.6 mm tall; a Medium staff is 0.4 inch tall and a Large staff 0.55 inch. Treble and bass sets the staves in braced pairs, as for piano music. If the number of staves you ask for does not fit at a size, the sheet draws as many as fit and says how many.

Questions and answers
How many staves fit on a page of staff paper?
Pick 6, 8, 10 or 12. On a US Letter page with no Name line all twelve fit at the Small and Medium sizes, and up to nine fit at Large. If the number you pick does not fit, the sheet draws as many as fit and says how many.
What size is the staff?
The size is the space between two staff lines, and a staff is four of those spaces tall. Small is 5.4 points, a staff about 7.6 mm tall; Medium makes a staff 0.4 inch tall and Large 0.55 inch. Large leaves the most room for each note.
Can I get a treble clef and a bass clef together?
Yes. Choose Treble and bass under Clef. The staves then go in pairs, a treble staff above a bass staff, joined at the left by a brace and a line, as for piano music. Each pair counts as two staves.
Is the staff paper blank?
Yes. There are no notes, time signatures or bar lines, only the five-line staves and the clef you choose. Choose None under Clef for staves with nothing on them at all.
How do I print it on A4 paper?
Choose A4 under Paper in Options, then download the PDF and print it at Actual size or 100%. The staves are spread down the taller A4 page, so the gaps between them are a little larger.
