ItemNo is identical to ItemCmper, and it's used when the inci isn't used 
for the class (=when inci always equals 0).

Cmper and inci are Finale's internal database record pointers for some 
types of data.

The Cmper value is the main value, and is often a "linked" reference to 
some Finale value that would make sense for the storage position. For 
example, text blocks attached to a single page are stored at the cmper 
that reflects the 1-based page number.

The inci value is a sub-index counter for multiple records at the same 
position (such as when Cmper is used as the main location). I'm pretty 
sure inci is an abbreviation for something like "incremental integer". 
First inci is always 0 and then going upwards, and there are never any 
holes in the inci chain.
