I tried something like this:
\score {
\notes{ s1 \break s1 \break }
\paper{ linewidth=180.\mm; }
}
This is how the blanco.tex should look like:
...
\font\fontA%
=feta20.afm%
\fontA%
\placebox{-25.0pt }%
{4.35715pt }%
{\show{115}%
}%
\placebox{-20.0pt }%
{23.04283pt }%
{}%
\placebox{-20.0pt }%
{512.149606299213pt }%
{\maatstreep{20.0pt }%
}%
\placebox{-10.0pt }%
{0.0pt }%
...
If you want empty bars without barlines and clefs you should edit this
file. Remove the lines with '{\show{115}%' and '{\maatstreep{20.0pt }%'.
Edit the next line after such a command to '{}%' (just add a {-bracket).
Your file will look as following now:
...
\fontA%
\placebox{-25.0pt }%
{4.35715pt }%
{}%
\placebox{-20.0pt }%
{23.04283pt }%
{}%
\placebox{-20.0pt }%
{512.149606299213pt }%
{}%
\placebox{-10.0pt }%
{0.0pt }%
...
Now you have blank music paper. The staves are a bit close-together. If
it still isn't there, it should be possible to adjust the space between
two staves or at least a minimum and a maximum. If you enter many
dynamics and so on, the space between two staves is getting very large.
I have a dirty trick to make more space between two staves.
type:
\score {\notes { s1_" " break
and you have more space to write your dynamics on your own hand-written
music.
By the way, why should you write music manually. There is an excelent
music type setting program. It's even free. It called LilyPond...
