Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pages are not perforated in most wirebound pads; tearing out leaves a ragged edge.
- 02Wire binding makes double-sided writing awkward near the spine for left-handers.
- 03Staves are blank. You add clefs, time signatures and bar lines yourself.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many staves per page?
12. That suits solo lines, piano grand staff writing, and small ensembles. Full orchestral scoring needs a larger format.
02Do the pages tear out cleanly?
Wirebound pads generally aren't perforated, so removing a page leaves a torn edge. Use a photocopy if you need clean parts.
03Is it printed on both sides?
Manuscript paper of this type is typically printed both sides, giving you 96 pages of usable staves.
04Will pen bleed through?
Pencil is standard for manuscript work since it erases. Heavy markers may show through on standard-weight paper.
