2------------------------------------------ ---------- -----
3
4 . Scores are stored in files with up to 20 scores per file.
5 . Scores are stored on disk in packed form and unpacked when loaded.
6 . An empty score takes only a 4 byte length flag (-1L) on disk.
7
8. Each file consists of:
9
10 Library Header Record 56 bytes
11 --------------------- --------
12
13 . Every MIDAS-VII library file has a header, as follows:
14
15 struct mlibhdr { /* MIDAS library file header */
16
17 char l_csum[8]; /* checksum in HEX ASCII, of all but l_csum[] */
18 char l_name[8]; /* file name */
19 char l_type[3]; /* file type (SCR for a score) */
20 char l_cmnt[37]; /* comment */
21 };
22
23
24 Total longs required 4 bytes
25 -------------------- -------
26
27 . Total number of longs required in RAM to load all of the scores.
28
29 Scores 01-20
30 ------------
31
32 . All scores start with their length:
33
34 nbr 4 bytes Number of longs required,
35 or -1L if the score is empty
36
37 . Non-Empty scores have the following additional data:
38
39 scname 16 bytes Score name (not zero terminated)
40
41 stimes 240 bytes Section flags and SMPTE times
42
43 table: 20 entries, 1 per section, 12 bytes per section
44
45 struct s_time { /* section time structure */
46
47 short sflags; /* flags */
48 char smpte[10]; /* SMPTE start timecode */
49 };
50
51 events 5..32 bytes Packed event data
52
53 . See "MIDAS-VII Score Event Formats" for details.
