-Traditional engraving uses a set of 9 standardised sizes for Staffs
-(running from 0 to 8).
-I tried measuring those (helped by a magnifying glass), and I get the
-staffsizes in the following table. One should note that these are
-estimates, so I think there could be a measuring error of ~ .5 pt.
-Moreover [Ross] states that not all engravers use exactly those sizes.

-This table is partially taken from [Ross]. Most music is set in No.3,
-but the papersizes usually are bigger than standard printer paper
-(such as A4). If you plot these, you'll notice that the sizes (With

-[Ross] states that the dies (the stamps to make the symbols) come in
-12 different sizes.
