Re: Automatically add a tier for 'silence'

If you've created your tier using the Silence Recognizer, you can use it again to create another tier (Silence Recognizer > Segmentations > Create Tier(s)) for which only the silence segments are included (select only the silence segment in: Per Segmentation > Select and configure segments > Include in tier). This is far from being perfect, but it is the only workaround I know.

Adding such a feature would be of great use, as these intervals of silence can be important in linguistic analysis. If this feature is already in existence, hidden somewhere in the interface, making it easier to use would be appreciated.
On this occasion I would to thank the people behind ELAN for making this wonderful tool! :-)
