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.

Greetings fellow composers! I would like to find out from you all if anyone here composes by hand. I have always written my compositions by hand and I think it is a far better way of composing for the following reasons: 1. Developing your inner ear and being able to hear the composition in your head 2. Far more freedom in what you can do e.g. Graphic notation, complex polyrhythms 3. It's cheaper 4.I find it quicker. None of the 120 something compositions I have written (I have been composing for almost four years now) were written entirely on Sibelius or Finale or whatever. This post i'm writing isn't saying that notation software is bad, cos I think that they can be great for making parts and scores, but I think that everyone would benefit from using the good old fashioned quill and parchment (or pencil and paper) from time to time.
