I think you'll find that most of us who use tabloid paper (11x17) use it
to print 4 pages of 8.5x11 music on a single sheet, folded into booklet
form.
I agree that 11x17 is too large to use as a single page of score paper.

There have been some posts lately discussing methods of storing and

Orchestral Music Librarian's heart: the absolute hatred I have for scores in
that format.
I know that big, complex orchestra scores demand the luxurious space that
Tabloid paper provides, but if you want to know what the end-users think,
the people who are going to actually work with those scores would rather you
used a smaller format, say 10x14 at the max. The focus of the posts has been
on how difficult it is to store and transport 11x17 paper--well it is a
damned cumbersome and impractical size. I have a special shelf in the music
library stacked with tattered and dog-eared Tabloid-size conductor's scores
that have been stuffed and folded willy-nilly into briefcases, carry-on
bags, suitcases, too-small shipping boxes, etc. They can't be stored with my
normal-format (10x14) music boxes because no one makes storage boxes in that
size, and the shelves aren't big enough.
