Music staff paper

Below you can download free staff paper for music in PDF: large, medium, and small staff size. The left and right margins are 10 mm, and the top and bottom margins are 11.5 mm, and the paper format is assumed to be A4.

Other sources providing sheet music may claim that their measurements are scientifically accurate, or follow a long-standing tradition, or are dividing something into something according to the golden ratio etc. etc. I make no such claims; these parameters simply feel right.

Musical compositions

I occasionally write works for piano or violin (many of them still existing as drafts). Favourite style: Late Romantic, influenced by Scriabin, Glazounov, Rachmaninov, and Alkan.
