I have been wondering what all the complaints were about with comb binding -- I often comb-bind my scores and find no more noise from comb binding than from simply turning the page, which a good musician learns how to do with a minimum of noise anyway.

Pages make more noise scraping the lip of a manhasset stand than they do from comb bindings, in my experience.

This frequently heard canard is based on parts that have been bound too tightly. A properly loose comb binding can be as quiet as any. The Bridge recording of Griffes' _The Kairn of Koridwen_ was made using Kallisti Music Press's comb-bound parts and score, and I defy anyone to hear so much as a whisper of page noise in the result.
