NORMAL (U"Answer: see @@Sound: To Pitch (ac)...@. The 1993 article is downloadable from "
	"http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/paul/")
NORMAL (U"#Question: why does Praat consider my sound voiceless while I hear it as voiced?")
NORMAL (U"There are at least five possibilities. Most of them can be checked by zooming in on the @waveform.")
NORMAL (U"The first possibility is that the pitch has fallen below the @@pitch floor@. For instance, "
	"your pitch floor could be 75 Hz but the English speaker produces creak at the end of the utterance. "
	"Or your pitch floor could be 75 Hz but the Chinese speaker is in the middle of a third tone. "
	"If this happens, it may help to lower the pitch floor to e.g. 40 Hz (@@Pitch settings...@), "
	"although that may also smooth the pitch curve too much in other places.")
NORMAL (U"The second possibility is that the pitch has moved too fast. This could happen at the end of a Chinese fourth tone, "
	"which drops very fast. If this happens, it may help to use the \"optimize for voice analysis\" setting, "
	"(@@Pitch settings...@), although Praat may then hallucinate pitches in other places that you would prefer to consider voiceless.")
NORMAL (U"The third possibility is that the periods are very irregular, as in some pathological voices. "
	"If you want to see a pitch in those cases, it may help to use the \"optimize for voice analysis\" setting "
	"(@@Pitch settings...@). Or it may help to lower the \"voicing threshold\" setting (@@Advanced pitch settings...@) "
	"to 0.25 (instead of the standard 0.45) or so.")
NORMAL (U"The fourth possibility is that there is a lot of background noise, as in a recording on a busy street. "
	"In such a case, it may help to lower the \"voicing threshold\" setting (@@Advanced pitch settings...@) "
	"to 0.25 (instead of the standard 0.45) or so. The disadvantage of lowering this setting is that for non-noisy "
	"recordings, Praat will become too eager to find voicing in some places that you would prefer to consider voiceless; "
	"so make sure to set it back to 0.45 once you have finished analysing the noisy recordings.")
NORMAL (U"The fifth possibility is that the part analysed as voiceless is much less loud than the rest of the sound, "
	"or that the sound contains a loud noise elsewhere. This can be checked by zooming in on the part analysed as voiceless: "
	"if Praat suddenly considers it as voiced, this is a sign that this part is much quieter than the rest. "
	"To make Praat analyse this part as voiced, you can lower the \"silence threshold\" setting to 0.01 "
	"(instead of the standard 0.03) or so. The disadvantage of lowering this setting is that Praat may start to consider "
	"some distant background sounds (and quiet echos, for instance) as voiced.")
NORMAL (U"#Question: why do I get different results for the maximum pitch if...?")
NORMAL (U"If you select a Sound and choose @@Sound: To Pitch...@, the time step will usually "
	"be 0.01 seconds. The resulting @Pitch object will have values for times that are "
	"0.01 seconds apart. If you then click Info or choose ##Get maximum pitch# from the #Query menu, "
	"the result is based on those time points. By contrast, if you choose ##Get maximum pitch# "
	"from the #Pitch menu in the SoundEditor window, the result will be based on the visible points, "
	"of which there tend to be a hundred in the visible window. These different time spacings will "
	"lead to slightly different pitch contours.")
NORMAL (U"If you choose ##Move cursor to maximum pitch#, then choose ##Get pitch# from the "
	"#%Pitch menu, the result will be different again. This is because ##Get maximum pitch# "
	"can do a parabolic interpolation around the maximum, whereas ##Get pitch#, not realizing "
	"that the cursor is at a maximum, does a stupid linear interpolation, which tends to lead to "
	"lower values.")

NORMAL (U"#Question: why do names of variables have to start with a lower-case letter? "
	"I would like to do things like \"F0 = Get mean pitch\".")
NORMAL (U"Answer (using the shorthand script syntax): Praat scripts combine button commands with things that only occur "
	"in scripts. Button commands always start with a capital letter, e.g. \"Play\". "
	"Script commands always start with lower case, e.g. \"echo Hello\". "
	"A minimal pair is \"select\", which simulates a mouse click in the object list, "
	"versus \"Select...\", which sets the selection in editor windows. Variable names "
	"that start with a capital letter would be rather ambiguous in assignments, "

	"For instance, if Praat wants to know the spectrum at 1.342 seconds, it needs to include information "
	"about the signal in a 10-milliseconds window around this time point, i.e., Praat will use "
	"signal information about all times between 1.337 and 1.347 seconds. At the very edges of the sound, "

	"if the sound runs from 0 to 1.8 seconds, no spectrum can be computed between 0 and 0.005 "

	"To display a spectrogram from 0.45 to 1.35 seconds, Praat will use information from the wave form "

NORMAL (U"This is normal as well, especially for long windows. If your visible time window is 20 seconds long, "

	"that lies around the centre of those 20 milliseconds, "
	"not the average or sum of all the spectra in those 20 milliseconds. "
	"This %undersampling of the underlying spectrogram is different from what happens in the drawing of the wave form, "
	"where a vertical black line connects the minimum and maximum amplitude of all the samples that fall inside a "
	"screen pixel. We cannot do something similar for spectrograms. And since scrolling goes by fixed time steps "
	"(namely, 5 percent of the duration of the visible window), rather than by a whole number of screen pixels, "
	"the centres of the pixels will fall in different parts of the spectrogram with each scroll. "
	"Hence the apparent changes. If your visible window is shorter than a couple of seconds, "
	"the scrolling spectrogram will appear much smoother.")
NORMAL (U"The darkness of the spectrogram will also change when you scroll, because the visible part with the most "

NORMAL (U"To see this more precisely, create a sum of two sine waves, with frequencies of 1000 and 1200 Hz. "
	"the formula is $$1/4 * sin (2*pi*1000*x) + 1/4 * sin (2*pi*1200*x)$. In the editor, you will see "

	"window is long (30 ms). Apparently, the frequency resolution gets better with longer analysis windows.")
NORMAL (U"So why don't we always use long analysis windows? The answer is that their time resolution is poor. "
	"To see this, create a sound that consists of two sine waves and two short clicks. The formula is "
	"$$0.02*(sin(2*pi*1000*x)+sin(2*pi*1200*x)) + (col=10000)+(col=10200)$. "
	"If you view this sound, you can see that the two clicks will overlap "

NORMAL (U"Here is why you have to supply these settings. If the pitch floor is 75 Hz, "
	"the pitch analysis method requires a 40-millisecond analysis window, "

	"by somebody else's Perl script, then there will be no problem if your Table contains only ASCII characters (see above). "
	"But if your Table contains any other (i.e. non-ASCII) characters, you may be in trouble, because Praat will write the Table "
	"as an UTF-16 text file, and not all of the programs just mentioned can read such files yet.")
NORMAL (U"What you can do is go to ##Text writing preferences...# in the #Preferences submenu of the #Praat menu, "

	"which means one byte for every ASCII character and 2 to 4 bytes for every non-ASCII character. "
	"Especially on Linux, many programs understand UTF-8 text and will display the correct characters. "
	"Programs such as SPSS do not understand UTF-8 but will still display ASCII characters correctly; "

	"It is possible (but not guaranteed) that programs like SPSS then display your West-European text correctly. "
	"This trick is of limited use, because it will not work if your operating system is set to a \"codepage\" "
	"differently from ISO Latin-1 (or \"ANSI\"), or if you need East-European or Hebrew characters, or if you want "
	"to share your text files with Macintosh users.")
NORMAL (U"If you already have some UTF-16 text files and you want to convert them to UTF-8 or ISO Latin-1 (the latter only if "
	"they do not contain non-West-European characters), then you can read them into Praat and save them again "
	"(with the appropriate output encoding setting). "
	"Other programs, such a NotePad and TextWrangler, can also do this conversion.")
