9x12 is a stock art size, but 10x13 isn't. For me it's just a matter of convenience, since I send PDFs and not printed parts. I do like the look & feel of 10x13, but I haven't seen new parts done in that size for a few decades. I've done parts for a few orchestras requiring them already printed, and they ask for 9x12 (including one in Germany; the actually asked for C4, which is pretty close). > I also don't get the objection to a 1-inch margin all around.

I'm not a wide-margin fan in anything but, oh, I guess maybe poetry. :) Does anybody know if 10x13 has a name or designation?
