What Manuscript Books Do You Use?

Featured Replies

Quick question.

 

It's time for me to go out and buy another music manuscript book (I prefer to write music on paper first, rather than directly into Finale). I'm looking for something large (11x17" or larger), wire bound, and with a reasonable number of staves for a page that size (18 or more; this would seem to be a no-brainer, but I've seen educational 11x17 manuscript paper with TWO staves). Do the manuscript enthusiasts of Young Composers have a recommendation for a particular book they use?

 

Many thanks.

I get Manuscript books called Archives from Sam Ashes. It's 96 page 10 stave..... slightly larger than the other book I had, but you could probably find a bigger book from the same company. There was a website on my book that I have never been to, but you can go if you wanted to check it out. it was www.daddario.com Goodluck finding a great stave book!

You can download manuscript paper, too.

don't settle for anything less fine than Passantino

I make my own in Sibelius. That way I can customize them the way I want and need :)

I put my laptop on the top of my piano with Sibelius 7 open and ready. :)

i draw crude staves on notebook paper with dull, chewed-up pencils. no ruler.

I used archive 18-stave.....it's kind of difficult for piano music, but for an ensemble I've found it to be the best.  It looks good, feels good, etc.
