Miscellanea  
  Sketch Paper

This is something I found useful to sketch compositions or analysis. It is a non standard staff that covers the range A1-C8 (the standard piano range). It uses esagrams so that every two octaves there is a C on a empty line. To facilitate reading there are additional treble and bass clefs notating a 16th above and below, respectively. (The bottom staff has only five lines that are enough to cover pitches below A1).

  Sketch Paper

This is similar but there is always a half-step between a space and a line. I use pentagrams so that every 5 lines, in the empty line, there is a C. Sometimes useful for analysis because the distances between pitches on paper correspond to real distances so one can easily look at symmetries etc..
