Remembering your comment, Denny, I picked up a carpenter's pencil and special sharpener today. Will give it a try!

Yes, I already cut a square of 600 grade for the Stadtlers. And the carpenter sharpener (that's fun to say) comes with an emery board on its side.

I know I'm going to regret saying this for the rest of my life. But Denny, you may be a genius. The carpenter's pencil works very well indeed for music notation.

Kobalt brand from Lowe's. Package of 4 + sharpener = $5.
