C.11 INDEX

CUE Command: INDEX number mm:ss:ff

If number is 0, then consider the time specified by the next INDEX command as the track pre-gap length present in the file declared by the current FILE command context.

If number is 1, then define the starting time of the index of this track as mm minutes plus ss seconds plus ff frames. This index specify the starting time of track data and is the only stored in the table-of-contents of the disc.

If number is 2 or more, then define the starting time of the (number-1)th sub-index within this track as mm minutes plus ss seconds plus ff frames.

If this is the first INDEX command of the current TRACK command context, then it must start at 00:00:00 and number must be either 0 or 1.

If this is not the first INDEX command of the current TRACK command context, then number must be one greater than that of the last TRACK command.

The value number cannot be greater than 99 and is usually padded with a 0 on the left when smaller than 10, in order to keep index and sub-index numbers two digit wide uniformly throughout the CUE sheet.

The time mm:ss:ff is an offset relative to the beginning of the file specified by the current FILE command context.

The values mm, ss and ff must be non-negative integers.

There are 75 frames per second.
