The advantage of digital manuscript paper is that you can load the file onto your tablet device then "mark up" the pdf and write music with a stylus. This means you can make:
  1. Perfectly straight lines
  2. Copy-paste notations, sections, and bar lines.
  3. More time and effort-saving features.
  4. Save money and never buy manuscript paper again.
The only requirement is that you need to be able to download and mark up PDFs on your device.
