Multipitch append help?

[Cine]

I'm not one hundred percent sure of how to alias the files. But I want to do my next bank as a CVVCVC append bank. I wanted to ask if the manner of sorting or recording the files is a certain way to get a seamless bank. I understand how the appends work, but I'm taking a guess at how each append would be multipitch. Is one of these ways a better way of recording a bank?

Heeeeey I'm gonna try to help ya here since I'm doing a very similar thing!!
First of all I'm going to suggest that you use suffixes rather than prefixes because without a plugin, prefixes can't be freely edited like suffixes can.
Secondly, Lemme show u how i have Merisdae's bank set up:

Main bank
     -> append 1
             -> G3
                    -> あ
             -> C4
                    -> あ
             -> B4
                    -> あ
             -> G4
                    -> あ
             -> D5
                    -> あ
     -> append 2
             -> G3
                    -> あ
             -> C4
                    -> あ
             -> B4
                    -> あ
             -> G4
                    -> あ
             -> D5
                    -> あ
     -> append 3
             -> G3
                    -> あ
             -> C4
                    -> あ
             -> B4
                    -> あ
             -> G4
                    -> あ
             -> D5
                    -> あ

You might say, "but Lunar!! Those files don't have suffixes!" With the way UTAU is set up, the files themselves do not necessarily need to have suffixes as long as they are separated by folder.
Also, this might not be exactly what you want. Because UTAU only reads 2 layers of folders, this would not work if you wanted to use all of these appends at the same time, seamlessly. What I've done for Merisdae's seamless banks are similar, but are as follows (assuming the same suffixes as you):

Main Bank
     -> G3 p
               -> あ
     -> C4 p
               -> あ
     -> B4 p
               -> あ
     -> G4 p
               -> あ
     -> D5 p
               -> あ
     -> G3 y
               -> あ
     -> C4 y
               -> あ
     -> B4 y
               -> あ
     -> G4 y
               -> あ
     -> D5 y
               -> あ
     -> G3
               -> あ
     -> C4
               -> あ
     -> B4
               -> あ
     -> G4
               -> あ
     -> D5
               -> あ

This fixes the "only two layers of folders" rule that UTAU has, but it's not the most organized thing in the world. If you're going for seamless switching between appends (which I believe you are) then you should use the second one.

When you go to oto each of the pitches, just open the desired oto in notepad and use the shortcut ctrl+h to get to the replace window, and replace ".wav" with " [suffix] [pitch].wav" Make sure there is a space though!! "[space][[suffix][space][pitch].wav"
For example:

This will easily give your otos the suffix they need. Now, when you set it up in the prefix.map you will make it just the "[space][pitch]" so that way it reads from the end of your samples and finds the right ones for that pitch.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I think that's everything? if you have any more questions feel free to ask!!! I've gone through a lot of different ways to organize and setup Merisdae, so I think I'll be able to help c:

This is really helpful, thanks.
I've been checking out forms on which kinds of utau sound better or work smoother, and It came up a few times that people like the banks where in a single ust your notes can go: power-power-power-light-light-power and that it would sound better to append than only do a singe powerscale. With the oto-ing and aliases, do you think this would work fine with Zurui's CVVCVC package?
I'm also trying to get my recording act together so I can teach it to my sister.

oh, you mean CVVCV! yeah, that's what i'm using as well and it works perfectly fine. the reclist isn't much different from many other CVVC reclists, but it just contains more VCV strings such as "r"s "y"s "f"s etc
