## Generating blank staff paper

It is possible to use Mup to generate blank music staff paper. You simply use an input file that contains measure spaces, each ending with an invisbar. You can control whether you want clefs, time signatures, braces, etc., and can control the spacing of staffs using the scoresep parameter. Here is a simple input that will generate a page with 8 completely blank staffs.

    score
    	scoresep=9,100		// spread staffs out nicely
    	stafflines=5n		// don't print any clefs
    	label=""		// make sure left edges line up both on first
    	label2=""		//    and on subsequent lines
    	topmargin=1		// allow extra margin to write in header/footer
    	bottommargin=1
    	time=4/4n		// don't print any time signature
    music

    define SCORE
    	1: ms;
    	invisbar		// no bar line at the end of the staff
    @

    define SCORE_NEWSCORE
    	SCORE
    	newscore
    @

    // print 8 staffs, with newscore between each
    SCORE_NEWSCORE
    SCORE_NEWSCORE
    SCORE_NEWSCORE
    SCORE_NEWSCORE
    SCORE_NEWSCORE
    SCORE_NEWSCORE
    SCORE_NEWSCORE
