Standard folders
This is where, by default, Audiveris stores all score outputs, such as the .omr project
files, the .pdf printouts, the .mxl MusicXML files.
Audiveris needs just one base folder, since all the outputs of a given input file are organized into a specific sub-folder, named according to the input radix.
For example, the processing of some "Bach_Fugue.tif" input file would result in a single specific "Bach_Fugue" folder containing "Bach_Fugue.omr", "Bach_Fugue.mxl" and perhaps "Bach_Fugue-samples.zip", etc.
