12-Put the 2nd page on top, then put the needle through the hole from the top, going exiting between the 1st and 2nd pages, and tighten the threads.
13-Do Then do the locking stitch, but this time, take the needle between the first page and the cover, right to left, and tighten the threads. Repeat for the next two stations, remembering to go between the first page and cover for the locking stitch.
...
Repeat step 14 for the next two stations. You will start to see the chain-like stitch forming at the edge.
...
16. Continue the third page pattern for the rest of the score, put putting each page on top, and coming from the top, go then sewing down thru each hole from the top, exiting between the current and previous page; then do doing the locking stitch two pages down, right to left; while remembering to tighten each thread between each stitch.

21. There will be 2 loops showing on the back cover. Depending on the size of the thread, there will be a certain amount of swelling at the spine and gaps between the pages. For music scores, smaller threads will allow for easier music reading, but may be easier to break.
...
.
For our music scores, we will be adding cloth binding tape to the outside, covering the stitches visible from the outside.
...
22. We will be reinforcing the spine: cut a piece of binding tape to the same size as the height of the score. Next measure the full depth of the spine face without compressing it; this portion will be left unglued to form a hollow spine.
...
23. Glue each side (but not the hollow part), making sure not to get glue in the center. Press down tape on the front, then turn the score over and press down the back. The threads will form slight swellings at each station.
With the score still closed, press it under a book or two, until the binding glue has set.
...
Once, dry it should open completely flat, without any interference from the reinforced spine.
