Staff paper maker

How to use the staff paper maker

Choose a line size, the number of staves, and a layout. The page below redraws each time. Press "Print the page." Only the staff paper prints. If the staves you ask for do not fit at that size, the tool fits as many as it can and tells you.

Which size to choose

Extra large suits a child of four to six who is drawing first notes. Two or four staves fit on a page.

Large suits ages seven to nine, and anyone copying music with a thick pencil.

Medium fits ten staves, with a little more room than most store-bought staff paper.

Small is close to the staff paper sold in music stores. Twelve staves fit. It suits theory homework and older students.

Single staves or pairs

One staff is enough for violin, flute, voice, and most single-line instruments. Piano music uses two staves joined at the left: the top one for the right hand and the bottom one for the left hand. Choose "Pairs, for piano" and the tool joins the staves in twos.
