  Can you guys share some music stave notebooks that you currently use? We'll look into that for inspiration. Feel free to get in touch with me at steven [at] getrocketbook [dot] com.

  YES! I thought of it as well! 100% support this guy!

  Would you guys like them using Everlast pages (wipedown to reuse) or normal paper (single use)?

  Large composer books would be nice, but keep the letter size w/ music staff. For freelance musicians that have to write quick charts, sometimes on the fly, the wipe down Everlast version would be awesome. They could be imported into tablet via Dropbox or Google Drive, but direct sync to apps like Forescore would be amazing! Everlast version would be great for music teachers as well. They can create examples for students to be uploaded to Google Classroom or imported to interactive whiteboards.

  Wipe down and with the possiblity to write your own clef in. As a harpist, it's usually consistent but not always. Plus my dad composes for a several orchestras and this would be handy for him. Find several file types that transport into the main programs. I find midi are pretty accurate. He uses Finale but I haven't played around to see what works even between that and Notation.

  Blank chord diagrams for guitar players would be great here too, and an area for lyrics.

  Standard music staff paper! Do It! Take my money!!!

  No clef should be included here. As a viola player, I'd be out of luck, because we use the alto clef. Choral arrangements also often use alto and tenor clefs, and it would avoid the problem of two clef instruments like the piano.

  I would use the wipe down pages, and sync with other music apps.

  Hi! I'm currently a music therapy major at college and I have to take a lot of music classes! I think if you even made a note book full of blank staff paper, it would give people the chance to personalize it and write whatever clefs or whatever type of music they want in it! I currently use "Manuscript Paper" by Hal Leonard Corp if you want to look at it as a reference.

  Just a heads up -- we have some free PDFs here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eqnsm164v0sav3v/AAA-cMxpo8BhBH8sLOFbkUe2a?dl=0

  I am not a musician but have a musician husband and musician son. This would be great for both of them, especially for my son, who writes music on the fly. My son also teaches, and this would be great for him to write things for his students and upload or email to them. The wet erase kind would be best, I would think. I would purchase this for them in a heartbeat!

  Oooh! Finale integration would make my husband, an organist / composer arranger happy! :-D

  Any news? This would be a must buy. Maybe have 1 blank page and the rest be staff may come in handy. So we can writte cue list, or any other info.

  This would be awesome! It would make teaching lessons, composing, or writing out a chart on a gig much easier. Having it work like the Everlast probably would be best.

  I would love 12 Stave. No clefs, please, as different instruments use different clefs. Wipe-down pages, please. Really looking forward to this. Will purchase several and give them as gifts. These would be great for music teachers and their students, as well.

  I would love to see a staff and tab page in a notebook form. Many pages with a set of back pages with guitar chord boxes. There are quite a few suggestions for various formats. I think this group would even pay a bit more to purchase the format of their choosing.

• 27 Jun, '18
  David

  Yes, please. Integrate with Finale and StaffPad as well (convert to xml or midi file?)

• 24 Jul, '18
  Marc

  Hi Steven, any update on integration with Finale, StaffPad, Scorecloud,... or others? I think that's where the real value of the score notebook would be.

• 13 Aug, '18
  Les Sellers

  No clefs. Standard staff paper. Integration with notation software. As a music educator and pro musician, this would be amazing! The wipe down everlast paper would be great, esp. if the recognition software could interpret the notation.

  Mr. C

  Please let us know if a musical staff Rocketbook appears! MANY music educators would jump on this!

  Very interested in this! Any updates? Would love to get it.

  Heather Antonissen

  oh my god this would be amazing! no clefs, full page of staff lines like your downloadable pdf. reuasable paper. I would vote for the 5.5 x 8.5 size pages as a middle ground for experimenting/jotting ideas and notes down. (Get it? notes? :) this would be wonderful!

  Hello.
  
  Something similar to this - http://www.musicsheaf.com/paper/blank12/ - or this - http://www.hindson.com.au/info/A4_12_Stave_Blank_Manuscript.pdf - would be awesome. Just a blank page with 12 staves and no clefs.
  
  Composers/ students can add their own clef or clefs on the score depending on the kind of music they are writing.

  Something else to consider is being able to assign an icon to send a scan straight to ForScore, chart reading app. ForScore can currently take a picture of a chart and import it, but a scan would be cleaner. Side note, Now that you have the 10" pads, can you make them in full sizes to fit into padfolios?

  Blank manuscript paper would be best, so they can be customized by the user- not everyone wants a clef put in automatically, as some would use alto clef, tenor clef, percussion clef, etc and not only a grand staff. I dream of the day I can write music by hand and have it scanned into a professional looking part. (I realize there is an app that does this with the Microsoft Surface, but I’d rather have the versatility of having this across platforms, and web-based for increased accessibility).

  I am a music student and I was just looking for something like the 28cm Rocketbook Everlast with 12 blank staff lines. Connecting this with other apps would be a cool addition, but anyway to easily store my notes onto Google Drive and not buy books upon books of manuscript paper while having to remember where all those books are for years to come. I'm desperate enough to take my ruler to my current everlast notebook and draw my own staff lines. Keep us updated!!

• 17 Feb, '19
  Nicole

  Yes please! As others have suggest, a notebook with blank staff paper, reusable, would be fantastic! I like connecting to Musescore as it's a free program that I and many of my musician friends use.

• 18 Feb, '19
  Wayne Smith

  Definitely just the sheets of 5 lines only, no clefs. I'd buy this in a heartbeat!

• 09 Mar, '19
  Twig

  Yes please! This is needed!
  
  Don’t make me take a fine point sharpie to my everlast!

• 17 Mar, '19
  Tad

  This would be amazing! As a bassist, I really need only the bass clef and wouldn't want piano score or treble-only.
  Just blank lines would be fine for me.
  Wipe-down pages, with fairly tight staves--nine staves might fit nicely with the border and QR-code.
  A larger book with more staves would make me very happy, as would the aforementioned ability to send the PDF to Forscore.

• 26 Mar, '19
  César Torres

  A larger book with the with more staves would be awesome. There’s only need the black lines.

  I would use the erasable blank staff daily. I use notion from Presonus if there is any possible integration. Notion is great when using the apple/lenovo pencil, so if this integrates into Notion, the program will clean up terrible handwriting.

  Ian Edwards

  Music teacher and working musician weighing in here!
  
  The most universally useful product would be simple standard 5-line staves, no clefs or brackets. I'd have all my private students get one for me to leave assignments in!
  
  Especially if I could scan each of their notebooks into a different folder automatically. Wipe down pages, obviously. :)

  Singer/songwriter here- I love my Rocketbooks and would buy one made in blank 5-line stave formatting in a heartbeat, especially if it was or could be integrated with notation software.

• 01 Jul, '19

  Any updates regarding this??? Been printing the manuscript pdf but cannot wait for a notebook!

• 09 Aug, '19

  Even wipedown pages with templates for guitar/bass tabs would be really useful.

  Can you please, please, please add some guitar tablature paper to the drop box????

• 01 Sep, '19
  David

  Hoping to be able to buy a Rocketbook with blank staff paper soon! I teach music theory and aural skills at a state school; these would be incredibly useful to me and to my students! It would be really awesome if there were a way to order a book with a unique number of each page template; or even just order individual pages to customize it myself!

• 11 Sep, '19
  Nan AK Gibbons

  I would love to add these - I made some with fine line sharpie, but 12 staffs per page without anything else would be fantastic! The ones I made with the lined paper are only 8 staffs to the page.

  Any updates on this happening? I would buy at LEAST three of these the day they are made available!

  When I saw this book for the first time immediately thought of the music version. I did some googling and to my surprise couldn't find any. It would be great a 12 staves standard music sheet version. Please, don't put this in the never done bucket.

  I NEED THIS NOTE BOOK FOR MY MUSIC CLASSES LITERALLY JUST BLANK STAFF PAPER ON THE EVERLAST SHEETS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, from a sad tree killing music major.

• 27 Oct, '19
  James

  There should be some pages with all treble, all base, and then some blank staffs.

• 25 Dec, '19
  Jacob Jonker

  I teach guitar full time and use my rocket books every day for note taking. Staff paper would be excellent, as would a few pages of chord chart/ fretboard diagrams. I've even thought of going through one of my rocket books and drawing them myself with sharpie but it sounds really tedious and would probably look sloppy. So if a staff paper version came out I'd pounce on it for sure.

  Any updates on this??? Really hoping to get this!

  Bobby Broom

  YES!!! Plain old manuscript paper – 5 lines, 4 spaces. Let the composer do the rest (clefs and what-not). Like the Core/Everlast, just wipe down to erase. You'd make a lot of $$$.

• 07 Feb
  Robert

  No clefs. Just staff lines. Definitely would buy. Export to pdf to use with tablet apps for gigs.

  Scan Score (https://scan-score.com/en/scan-and-edit-your-sheet-music-easily/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9KDAr4DA5wIV0YZbCh1ldwP5EAAYASAAEgKNqvD_BwE) may be a company you can partner with in bringing this to fruition. Music Staffs, when printed with their specification can be immediately imported into their software to bring it to the next level. All RocketBook needs to do is to provide the staff that is suggested.

  I am a music major so if we could get plain staffs on some everlasting wipe down paper, that would be amazing! It would make things a lot easier to upload online but also I don't have to worry about wasting paper.

  I need this for my teaching studio and use it every day! Please keep it with no clef, as we are use different ones. Any ability to upload directly to finale as an editable document would completely change music writing as we know it.
