Dear Ponderers,

Down under here in Australia we use A4 and A3. A4 is just too small for piano music, and A3 is generally too big to fit on the music desk comfortably.

The ideal size for me is Klavierformat (235x310mm) which is the standard size of editions such as Henle and so on. This paper size is unobtainable except as a printer’s trim size. The next best thing is B4.

Consumer A3 printers will take B4 paper. But I am completely unable to find a source of cut B4 in Australia or online, as a retail customer, in standard wrapped reams, or indeed any quantity.

I frequently print scores as booklets onto A3+ (329x483) and fold in half, giving a page size of 242x329. Most A3+ papers are single-sided for photo printing and and about 300gsm - the lightest I've found for double-sided printing is this: http://www.pcx.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=2871
