print-attributes

The print-attributes group is used by the print element. The new-system and new-page attributes indicate whether to force a system or page break, or to force the current music onto the same system or page as the preceding music. Normally this is the first music data within a measure. If used in multi-part music, they should be placed in the same positions within each part, or the results are undefined. The page-number attribute sets the number of a new page; it is ignored if new-page is not "yes". Version 2.0 adds a blank-page attribute. This is a positive integer value that specifies the number of blank pages to insert before the current measure. It is ignored if new-page is not "yes". These blank pages have no music, but may have text or images specified by the credit element. This is used to allow a combination of pages that are all text, or all text and images, together with pages of music.

The staff-spacing attribute specifies spacing between multiple staves in tenths of staff space. This is deprecated as of Version 1.1; the staff-layout element should be used instead. If both are present, the staff-layout values take priority.
