V (Version) Record
The V record allows a fingering file to specify a minimum level of Recorder Digits necessary to display the fingering file correctly. This should usually be used if a fingering file uses a new feature of Recorder Digits and will display very poorly with earlier versions of the program.
Format:
Vnnn
where nnn is a 3 character number
Example:
V268
This would mean that version 2.68 of Recorder Digits is the earliest version of the program that will display the file properly. If a user loads the external file using an earlier version of Recorder Digits, they will get a message saying that they should obtain the latest version in order to view the file correctly. Note that the file is loaded and displayed after the error message has been closed.
Note that you should not use a period in the number - for example "V2.68" is incorrect and will be flagged as an error in the RCDLOG file and not used. The number must be 3 characters.
The V record itself was introduced in version 2.68. Versions of Recorder Digits earlier than this will flag the V record as an invalid record and not perform the version testing. So obviously, the real value of the V record will not take effect until some time in the future when the general user community has upgraded to at least version 2.68.
