This gives you more options. While Xavier states drawbacks, if you use the above information along with the LSR these drawbacks are no longer. http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=402 (print below the staff) http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=735 (print above and below - method 1) http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=736 (print above and below - method 2) http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=575 (simultaneous) Have fun!
