A standard printed stave is sized for a hand that already knows where a note sits without looking. A beginner's pencil is wider than that gap allows, and a child's is wider still, so the note ends up guessed at rather than placed.
Here the five lines of the stave sit 3.53 millimetres apart, wider than a standard printed stave, with forty-nine rows fitting down the page at that spacing. The extra room is for the note head itself, drawn by a hand still working out where it actually goes.
It is not sized for a professional copyist's hand, and it was never meant to be.

In every book
The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.
- This book belongs to
- One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
- My details
- Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
- Emergency numbers
- Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
- Point at this
- A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
- World map
- Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
- Conversion tables
- Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
- Pen test leaf
- The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.
