Re: Music sizes

[David Bobroff]

I know the size that Garrett is talking about.  I remember the 
appoximate size and measured what my memory said was the size.  I then 
went to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#North_American_paper_sizes

There I found a reference to a size called "statement" or "half letter" 
which is 5.5"x8.5" (half of an 8.5x11 inch sheet).  This is analogous to 
A5 paper.  This may or may not be the actual size of the "march" paper, 
but it's close, and it's something you can easily make if you can't buy it.

Hope this helps,
