 American paper sizes

There is a paper size that is 9 x 11 inches (22.8 x 27.9 cm roughly). It's a stock standard size sheet music is often printed on.

What is it CALLED, i.e. does it have a name.

thanks

Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

9x12 (229 x 305) is the format for most music printed , and I can't find a name for it.

US Quarto is 216 x 275 http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/office-paper-sizes-25_213.html

ISO C4 is 229 x 276

Metric Demy ("y" not "i") is 219 x 276

Close, but not quite.

There is a standard book size that is 9" x 12" 229 x 305, but seems to be not named.

Doesn't seem to be an eazy question to find an internet answer to.

good luck

the standard "photocopy machine" size paper is/called "8 1/2 by 11" and it's fairly close to what the entire rest of the world calls "A4". This would be close to what you are asking about Diz- it may be that some music is printed in this size?

Maybe it falls under "bookmakers' standards" rather than sheet paper per se.

Maybe "9 x 10 7/8" 229x276. "Non traditional Book Trim Sizes"

See >http://home.inter.net/eds/paper/naukeupaper.html<

I've run across this on the graphic side of my company. Paper in the US uses non-metric sizes of which one is 9x12 (229x305) within traditional booktrim sizes. 9x10 7/8 (229x276) is another of these. These sizes don't use names or designations.

The ISO standardized paper sizes are used in the US for certain applications such as academic submissions for international publication as well as in Europe. England and Japan however also use non ISO metric paper sizes which have been named or given specific designations.

All in all a very messy situation.

I am NOT talking about A4 size, no.

I rather suspect so. When commercially making a book of any sort, a standard paper size is presumably used, and then after the book is assembled/sewn in sections or stapled - I don't know the technical term - it must be cut with a guilotine, to a smaller size.

Otherwise the pages would not all lie neatly at the far edge from the spine, considering that the pages at the cover side of the book have to travel further around the stapled or sewn 'bend', than the pages at the centre of a section travel around the bend. :-)
