- Page-specific i-files ("Intermediate files")
- Music Page Files
Page-specific i-files
Music Page Files
Music Page Files, abbreviated MPG, are page-specific i-files which contain a header consisting of 7 lines which describe the content of the file. The seven lines of data start with the letter "Z", and are called "Z-records". Following the letter "Z" is a space followed by the number for the record which determines its meaning:
Z 1 composer Z 2 work title Z 3 movement title Z 4 group membership (format) Z 5 resolution (300 dots/inch) Z 6 music size Z 7 page number (in current movement)
Example content of Z-records:
Z 1 Antonio Vivaldi Z 2 Concerto Op. 3, No. 5 in A Major (RV 519) Z 3 1. Allegro Z 4 score Z 5 300 dots/inch Z 6 14 dots per staff line Z 7 1
Each MPG file contains the typesetting information for one page of music in a printable score. The MPG files are intended to be collected into a CFT file for data distribution. CFT files can be read by the Dmuse IDE (for Linux and Apple OS X) and the Dmuse Veiewer (MS Windows only).
