divide annotations of one tier into two tiers according two speakers
Is it possible to link two tiers in a way that the gaps of the first tier can be implemented in the annotation of the second tier (and substitute any original annotations in these locations)?<br><br><br>We have one tier (tier b) with numeric annotations for two different speakers and want to divide the annotations according to the speakers. Doing this by mouse click is very time-consuming therefore we wondered if there is a way to link this tier to the speech annotation tier (tier a) and transfer the gaps from there to tier b, so that all the annotions belonging to speaker 2 will be deletet in tier b.<br><br>Hopefully that did not sound too confusing....thanks for any advice!<br>
Re: divide annotations of one tier into two tiers according two speakers
The situation is not entirely clear to me and I don't think there is one single function that does what you want, but it might be possible to combine a few existing functions to achieve your goal.
You could use the Tier->Create Annotations from Gaps to create empty annotations on a new tier of the gaps of tier a. Then use Tier->Create Annotations from Overlaps and select the "gaps" tier and tier b, with the option "Concatenate" to "knock out" only those annotations of tier b overlapping the gaps.
But maybe you rather want to do this with the original annotations from tier a; in that case copy tier a via Tier->Copy Tier, empty all annotations on the copy using Tier->Remove Annotations or Values, and then use the overlaps function with the copy and tier b.
Anyway, a combination of these functions might help you a long way.
