[JW Lua] CMPR and INCI

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Jari,
Thanks for the info.  I'm still somewhat confused on these items and when
you would ever need them, but at least you have given some detail.

Charles

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.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
