To figure out what arguments need to be provided in what order, check the pop-up menu for that function inside Praat and/or the documentation in the official Praat manual. In such cases, just omit arguments from the call to praat(). Remember that (as mentioned in the Usage Tutorial) an empty character string ("") cannot be used for any component of the argument list() in the current version of PraatR.Ī blank cell means that that command requires no arguments. In most cases, the example values shown represent Praat's defaults for that command. The 'arguments' column includes an example of the general format of what you should set arguments to for that command. and To Pitch are treated as entirely different commands. Make sure to double-check whether the command's name ends with an ellipsis (".") since, for example, To Pitch.The 'command' column lists the text that should be provided in the command argument to the praat() function. The leftmost column (without a header) indicates that command's classification as a Create, Modify, Play, or Query command. Inside the section for each object class, a table is given listing all of the different commands that can be applied to an object of that class. These are all listed at the top of the page in a table of contents that will let you jump to a specific section of interest. The overall page is structured around the 100 currently supported object classes, in alphabetical order. This database was built based on Praat version 5.3.50 (circa ). The following is a list of the 2163 unique object-command combinations that are currently supported in PraatR.

Unlabeled intervals were not contained in any labeled intervals in old. Each interval in this new tier with a non-zero label will represent a chunk of the old TextGrid contained in labeled intervals in at most one tier. If you include that procedure (either physically copying it or includeing it), you can do old = selected("TextGrid")Īfter that, the new TextGrid will have a single tier will all the intervals from the other tiers "flattened out". The logic of that script is in a procedure that can be included into whatever script you are using (or canibalised into it, if you're into that sort of thing). Although the task is different, the TextGrid that script creates to work on can be used for what you want. Some time ago I wrote a script that was used to find non-overlapping intervals, also in tiers with different speakers.
