Saving Files
13-33
The dependent object structure of the songs would look something like this:
In this case you might want to save all of the songs in one file, and be able to automatically
relink the dependent programs used by the song tracks. All of the programs are presumably
already saved in separate files. The only file that needs to be created is one that contains all of
the song objects, plus a name table. Once again, this is done by selecting the songs from the Save
Object dialog, and answering Names to “Save dependent objects?” The contents of this file can
then be displayed by pressing Open (as was done for the previous example).

Also as shown in the previous example, you can display the contents of the name table:

Notice that the ROM program 50 Studio Kit 1 will not be listed in the name table. Any
dependent objects that are in ROM do not need to be relinked by name. ROM objects are always
directly referenced by their object ID number, since they don’t get saved in any files.
Once the song file has been saved, it can be loaded at any time and correctly relinked, as long as
the other files containing the necessary programs have already been loaded.
For this type of situation, where you may be working on songs always using a consistent set of
programs, it is beneficial to make a macro file that can be loaded in one step to direct all of the
various program files to be loaded. After that, any time you load a song file containing a name
table referencing these programs, the songs should get relinked to the correct programs.
