I did explain before that the main folders have samples PLUS 3 folders,
each with samples of their own. I just sent a reply to highlight this fact.
I am in the process of creating "main" subfolders, shifting the main
files there and repeating the process. Seems to be working fine like this.
The structure of the folders is how GrandOrgue and Hauptwerk recognize
the main files for a note/sound, with releases for those notes in
appropriate subfolders. There are usually 2 or 3 releases per main file.
Sometimes the longest release is part of the main file and marked with a
cue point where it starts hence the additional 2 releases are in
separate folders. The releases are of different duration to mimic
staccato (pressing a note which a sharp tap, immediately releasing it),
a portato (what you get if you hold a note just a bit longer) and the
sustained release (which is what one would hear on keeping a note held
for a longer duration). The tails are progressively longer (measured in
hundreds of milliseconds, of course) and produce the echo heard best in
a hall or church. This is a fine detail in reproducing notes digitally
but detectable by musicians. Without the releases, the notes sound dull
or "dry" as you would get in a small carpeted room.... no echo (no
reverb) at all.
Thanks. For all intents and purposes..... Mission Accomplished!
There was no way I was going to achieve this on my own. Had I followed
some advice given hear, I'd still be desperately tearing my hair out and
banging my forehead on the table.
I must thank in particular Kevin Conder and Jeremy Nicoll who spared me
a lot of tears, bruises and a fractured skull.... not to mention a
broken computer screen!
Well done!

I don't think you described files being in a main folder. Your example
showed
that they were in eg
\Basson16L\relnnnnn\
& \Basson16R\relnnnnn\
The existing script, given the path and a sample name like "Basson16"
finds and
merges files in subfolders of Basson16L and Basson16R.
That's what I expected it to need to do, and what Kevin expected it to
need to do.
If you wanted it to do something else as well, you'd have needed to
explain that
more clearly.
But more to the point, if you do have sample files in a main folder as
well as sub-
folders, it's hard to understand why. Do they not also correspond to a
particular
stop? Even if they don't, and they had to be a separate collection, I'd
have put
them in a dummy subfolder of their own, eg
\~mainfilesL\relnnnnn\
& \~mainfilesR\relnnnnn\
simply because that would have kept the file structure the same for all
of them,
& thus kept the scripts simple. That "~mainfilesL" has a "~" at the
start so it
would appear at the start of an alphabetically-sorted list of folders.
