Using a Template to Punch Book Music
By Bjorn Isebaert

Hi!  Nicholas Simons is undoubtedly right: the 'easiest' way is the
oldest one: use a master, attach it to the cardboard and then you can
re-use the master for music repeats, future recuts, etc.  I've been
doing it for some time now and it works, although it's quite a tedious
job!

I also tried the 'ironing' method: I printed the master on my laser
printer, then put the printed side onto the cardboard and ironed it,
and it worked, ... but I needed a huge amount of toner to get an
acceptable result (and I had to convince my girlfriend that the iron
wouldn't suffer any harm ;-))!

But as always: many thanks for the suggestions!

Best wishes,
