How to Print Music Paper

For some black lines on a page, staff paper is pretty pricey. You can set yourself back at least $10 for just a few hundred sheets. If you are a musician writing a serious work, this means you are spending big bucks on notes you write, rewrite, and rewrite again.. There is no need to purchase staff paper if you have a working printer and computer available to you, however. You can get all types of blank music paper free on the Internet and print them in large quantities from your own home.
