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