Use p12 to supress staff numbers that appear on the screen for reference.

Staves are numbered (p2=staff num.) from the bottom of the page upward. Up to
16 staves may be used in 1 file.  The default staff positions, at size 1,
space the staves 18 scale steps apart.  Values in p4 change this spacing as
desired.  P5 sets the size of the space between staff lines.  Each space is
made up of 2 "scale steps."  All p4 values are figured in scale steps. The old
method of making staves with other than 5 lines by adding n000 (+ or -) to p4,
where n = how many lines, still works, but using p7 is the preferred method.


*

p7 = -1 = make the staff is invisible.  Positive numbers create staves with
     other than 5 lines. i.e. Use p7 = 6 for six line guitar tablature staves.

p8 = used by the SPRINT program to create space (in inches) between the
     bottom line of staff 1 in one file up to the bottom line of staff 1
     in the next file above.  This is used when a page of music is made
     up of several separate data files.  (Large scores, or output from
     the PAGE program.)

p9 = instrument identification number.  This is used by the part extractor
     feature of the PAGE program.

p10 = distance, in inches, for placement of staff above normal position
      of staff 1.  When p10 is used, p4 is ignored.  (However, for
      staff 1 itself, it is best to leave both p4 and p10 at 0.)

p12 = 1 = supress staff number that appears on the screen for reference.
