%     - directories re-structured:
%         - main scripts of a model go to: `model`. They are called `nameyear`

%         - scripts not being part of a specific model go to: `general`. They do not (!) start with model name.
%         - scripts generating audio signals go to: `signals`. They are called `sig_nameyear` or `sig_functionality`
