Lead sheet for marching band
In this conversation https://musescore.org/it/node/278137 Claudio Riffero has attached a mscz file with the correct size (on this side of the pond) that should have a lead sheet for marching band (Width 17.78 (cm) Height 12.70 (cm) and the stave, optimal must be 5.5mm high).
Maybe it could become another template, if not already present.

No! A suggestion suggestion to made own template ;-)
At most one How To...
So basically B6 landscape 17,6cm*12,5cm?
(and to get 5.5mm staves a space setting of 1.375, not 1,364)

It's hard for me to give you a precise answer, Riffero is a professional in the field. The one attached is his file, the page size settings are 177.80mm X 127.00mm, space setting 1,364. A custom size.
Are the 'official' measures elsewhere as well?
I guess for use with Trumpet Lyre: https://reverb.com/item/5902334-yamaha-trumpet-lyre-with-flip-folio-for…

The difference is subtle, the Odd page margins are at 5.00mm.In the image the comparison.
Perhaps at this point it would be more useful, in the next handbook, to add a paragraph on the standard page formats for the various formations (conductor/orchestra/band etc.).
From Riffero's book:
cm
- A4 21,00x29,70
- A5 (horizontal) 21,00x14,80
- B4 25,00x35,30
- A3 29,70x42,00
- Band 12,70x17,78
- Concert 22,86x30,48
in A4, A5 (horizontal), B4 and Concerto formats, the ideal stave occupies a horizontal space of 18.5 cm including the brackets.
in the text follows the calculation of margins based on formats...
