- MuseData stage1 files: Preliminary musical data created by MIDI keyboard entry.
- MuseData stage2 files: The primary musical data storage format.
- i-files: Intermediate graphical notation format, created by autoset from stage2 files.
- page files: Page description files for graphical notation, created by mskpage from i-files.
- dmuse fonts
Dmuse Zbex Programs
- autoset: Converts stage2 files into i-files in preparation for music printing.
- mskpage: Converts i-files into page files for graphical music notation printing.
- eskpage: On-screen graphical music editor editor that displays and edits page files.
- vskpage: Further processing of page files which adjusts the inter-staff and inter-system spacing on pages. Generates a file called scform which is used to create an edition using vspace.
- vspace: Takes scform data file vskpage and processes page files to generate an edition which is a set of refined page files.
- autoload: Downloads fonts to a PCL printer. Must be run before using pskpage.
- pskpage: Prints page files to a PCL printer.
- dskpage: Similar to pskpage, but displays page files as graphical music notation on the screen rather than printing.
- Some program to generate parts? Or has that merged into mskpage? Mainly has to do with multi-rests.
