I-files

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 outputs off of the main working director for a work. Within the outputs directory there is a project directory for a particular typesetting project, such as score or parts. With one of these sub-directories, i-files will be stored within a directory called i-files 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 (op1n12) if the sub-directory for the typesetting project is called score.
