Can I purchase just the template and not the manuscript paper or is it a bundle?

It is a bundle...but the problem is that the template only fits one size of staff lines on manuscript paper which is the size that it comes with. If you use any other size the tool is useless.

does this have guitar tab notation too?

No, it does not have guitar tab notation.

Descriptions allude to all note shapes being represented. Are there indeed outlines for shape note composition?

If you are looking for early American shape notes, no. This template is basic modern music composition. It is very good for that purpose. It works great for simple and tidy composing of lessons for my students. However, I would like to see an alto clef included on this template, it would fit nicely on the treble staff just under the fermata, suggestion. Overall a good music tool.

is there one of these that will draw the staff lines?

I have not seen a template for drawing staff lines, but I have seen special pens for creating music staff with one stroke.

Works great!

Very happy with the stencil. I've used it a lot already! I have no problem using a mechanical pencil with it. The manuscript paper is decent too.

Started using Christmas morning

My musical daughter has been using some of her at home study time this past year to pick up and learn new instruments, she had started to dabble with writing down her own tunes. I saw this little packet and thought it would be a fun added stocking stuffer. She thought it was great and started re writing some of her tunes that had been jotted down on note paper into it. The template helped it look neat and professional. She couldn't wait to get back to in person class and show her music instructor.

It works.

It works well but I wish it was offered without the paper. I already had a lot of that.

Essential tool for music composition & theory students

Music theory is harder than rocket science (think of Music Theory 210 as Mathematical Measure Theory and Music Theory 230 as Mathematical Manifold Theory). At its essence, music is spoken math except even people with no training know when you're wrong (in advanced math only other advanced math people know you're wrong).It requires special notations and the need to be precise so the result can be read and graded. This template will save many a music theory and composition student time, energy and aggravation while improving their grade (professors don't like to give you the benefit of the doubt when grading).My best advice is to use a .3mm mechanical pencil to correctly draw through the stencil. I thought I was buying just the stencil but it came with a pad of staff paper.

There is a "Composer Template 2" that works with 8.5 by 11.5 10-stave paper. This one does NOT

If you want to use this, you will have to keep a VERY sharp pencil or a VERY fine point marker, like 0.05!!Great concept, but difficult execution with the cutouts so tiny. And as I mentioned in the heading, if you have 8.5 x 11.5 ten-stave paper...like I do...this will not match.

Cute, and helpful

Yes, people do still use paper music. And if I want to make some changes, it can be tedious to write out marks clearly. Obviously, I don't NEED one of these, but it will make it quicker and easier to make changes.
