Traditional Transcript Feature Request

The traditional transcript export works fine for most of our work, and the computation of gaps (silence duration) is a wonderful feature. However if you output too many tiers (e.g, in a multimodal situation) they get entered into the computation of the silence durations. It would be helpful if there was a way of restricting/focusing the computation of silence durations to specific tiers (e.g., speech tiers) while being able to export other tiers (e.g, gesture) as well.

Thanks, Jeff. We have a list of requests for (smaller and bigger) improvements to this export function, your request might already be on it, otherwise I’ll add it.
My first thought is that the best way to add this is by adding another checkbox column to the table(s) for selecting the tiers (or types etc.) to export. Which makes it, in terms of amount of work involved, a rather extensive change to this export.
