Hi, thank you for your answer. Actually, there is no error message, it is simply impossible to add annotations on specific parts of the Tier. I cannot select a portion of the Tier either while there are annotations on the parent Tier on that same portion. I create a Template and tried with different data, thinking the file was corrupt. But now it's not working at all. I cannot select any portion of the Tier. NB: This Tier has an "included in" linguistic type. I thought maybe that was part of the problem, but this is the linguistic type I need to use. What should I do ? Do you have any idea ? Thanks.<br>

Maybe you can send me the file with a short description of where on which tier you want to create an annotation (han.sloetjes AT mpi.nl)? Then I can do some "debug" testing. I have no other ideas / alternatives.

Inspection of the example file learned that annotations on the "Included In" tier could not be created because the target parent annotations where not fully time-aligned. The parent tier is a "Time Subdivision" tier, which allows sequences of annotations not to be fully time-aligned (displayed with short vertical lines in the timeline view). The annotations on the parent tier should first be time-aligned, then child annotations on the "Included In" tier can be added.
This is all not well documented. Error messages will be added in a future release to inform the user why an annotation cannot be created.
