The JR pattern

[TrackName]_[EditOrType]_V#.ext

Why it works: searchability by TrackName, clear lineage via EditOrType, and unambiguous versioning.

Suffix glossary (use consistently)

• FullSong — the main complete version
• ChorusReplace / VerseFix / BridgeFix — targeted Replace edits
• Loop / LoopFade — loop exports (Fade = seam smoothing)
• Cover — genre/style flip
• MoodShift — changed emotional direction
• PersonaFlip — changed vocal persona
• OutroExtend / IntroTight — structural tweaks

Examples

• FirstLight_FullSong_V1.wav
• FirstLight_ChorusReplace_V2.wav
• FirstLight_LoopFade_V2.mp3
• FirstLight_Cover_V3.wav
• FirstLight_MoodShift_V4.wav

Do’s & don’ts

• Do bump V# on every export.
• Do keep latest two + milestone versions; trash the rest.
• Don’t overwrite files with the same name.
