Page Estimator

Each system holds approximately 4 measures. Parts with fewer than 3 staves per system use 10 staves per page; parts with 3 or more staves per system use 12 staves per page. Full scores are treated as one system per page. The first page reserves two staves for the title and credits. Final results should be rounded to the half or whole page — this calculator rounds up to be safe for billing.
