+|
+
+| - %t: track number
+| - %a: track artist
+| - %n: track title
+| - %s: track sort name
+
+| Disc files (.cue, .log, .m3u) are named according to the disc template,
+| filling in the variables and adding the file extension. Variables for both
+| disc and track template are:
+
+|
+
+| - %A: release artist
+| - %S: release sort name
+| - %d: disc title
+| - %y: release year
+| - %r: release type, lowercase
+| - %R: release type, normal case
+| - %x: audio extension, lowercase
+| - %X: audio extension, uppercase
+
+| Paths to track files referenced in .cue and .m3u files will be made
+| relative to the directory of the disc files.
+
+| All files will be created relative to the given output directory.
+| Log files will log the path to tracks relative to this directory
