The staff can be extended up and down to have more than five lines when using non-diatonic mosses. You should use at least as many staff lines as is required to fit an octave in the staff, which for an n-tone mos is ceil(n/2 + 1). When more than five staff lines are used, at least one of the staff lines should be bolded. The bolded line doesn't represent anything in particular, but provides an extra visual reference for readability. | The staff can be extended up and down to have more than five lines when using non-diatonic mosses.

The boxes on a barline show all of the mos steps the staff covers, including the steps immediately above the top line and below the bottom line. When notes on the staff use ledger lines, more boxes are needed to aid sightreading. If a note has more ledger lines than any preceding note in the same bar, boxes should be attached to the left side of the ledger lines. | |||
