What is the difference between a stave and a staff in music?
EdnahSchwartz
They're the same thing it's just two different spellings, similar to the difference between the American "color" and British "colour." However, when you are using the plural of "staff" it would be staves and not staffs. I'm guessing that's where the term stave would have originated. They can be usedinterchangeably.
