			I-files are an ''intermediate'' data format between [[stage2]] data files and graphical music notation; they are a parametric description of the graphical layout of printable music notation. I-files come in two varieties: "linear" i-files which describe the graphical notation for a single part in each file on a single long (linear) system with no line or page breaks. "Linear" i-files are used to produce "Page-specific" i-files (either for parts, or for scores). Each page-specific i-file contains a description of the graphical music notation layout for a single printable page of the score/part. Here is the [[Media:I-files.html \| formal description of the i-file format]] displayed in a fixed-width font and color markers as it would be displayed within the [[dmuse]] IDE.

The files typically are stored in a standard sub-directory called <tt>outputs</tt> off of the main working director for a work. Within the <tt>outputs</tt> directory there is a project directory for a particular typesetting project, such as <tt>score</tt> or <tt>parts</tt>.

New page

An i-file is a ''intermediate'' format between [[stage2]] data files and [[page files]]. Its data structure is nearly identicial to [[page files]], but instead of representing the graphical music for a single page, it represents the graphical music for a single instrumental part for a movement as if on a single long continuous system.

The i-files are typically produced by the [[autoset]] program which takes [[stage2]] files as input. The files typically are stored in a standard sub-directory called <tt>outputs</tt> off of the main working director for a work. Within the <tt>outputs</tt> directory there is a project directory for a particular typesetting project, such as <tt>score</tt> or <tt>parts</tt>. With one of these sub-directories, i-files will be stored within a directory called <tt>i-files</tt> and then within a directory which matches the movement directory of the original stage2 sub-directory structure.

Here are some example i-files for Corelli's Op. 1, No. 12 sonata. The first column gives the filename and directory location within the main work directory (<tt>op1n12</tt>) if the sub-directory for the typesetting project is called <tt>score</tt>.
