Generating blank staff paper
</H2>
<P>
It is possible to use Mup to generate
blank music staff paper.
You simply use an input file that contains
<A HREF="chordinp.html#measdur">measure spaces,</A>
each ending with an
<A HREF="invisbar.html">invisbar.</A>
You can control whether you want
<A HREF="param.html#clef">clefs,</A>
<A HREF="param.html#time">time signatures,</A>
<A HREF="param.html#brace">braces,</A>
etc., and can control the spacing of staffs using
<A HREF="param.html#scoresep">the scoresep parameter.</A>
Here is a simple input that will generate a page with 8 completely
blank staffs.

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

bottommargin=1
