+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.
