06. Filenames and Locations

• Use all lowercase letters (e.g. anderson_in_memoriam_zach_walker.md)
• Do not include accents/diacritics, for example leon.md NOT león.md
• Composer page should use lowercase letters without any accents (e.g. carreno.md)
• MEI filename should use underscores and end in .mei (e.g. anderson_in_memoriam_zach_walker.mei)
• MEI incipit page should use a hyphen after the last name followed by underscores and end in .md (e.g. anderson-in_memoriam_zach_walker.md)
  • If a title includes an opus number, work number (etc), include the numbers following the last name but before title in the filename. For example: beach-op015_no1_in_autumn.md
  • When you have several pieces that share the same main work title, place the number (ex. 001) following the main work title before the title of the individual piece. For example: bonds-two-works_002-fugal_dance.md
• PNG files should use hyphens between last name and title (e.g. anderson-minstrel-man.png)
