Printing it correctly

Choose Print, then pick Save as PDF as the destination if you want a file. Set scale to 100% and margins to None — the sheet already carries its exact paper size, so the browser must not rescale it. Anything else and the dimensions you chose are no longer the dimensions on the page.

Questions

Can I get staff and tab on the same page?

Yes — choose alternating and the systems interleave.

What line gap should I use?

2.5 mm suits most handwriting; go larger for children or a broad nib.
