vocd retracings

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Annabelle,

     Without having your exclude.cut file and the transcripts you are  
using, it is impossible to answer this question definitively.   
However, I ran this command on the ne32 directory in the CLAN samples  
with no problem:

vocd +t*CHI +r1 +r6 -s at dog *.cha

So, there is nothing particularly problematic about the +rr1 and +r6

My guess is that the file you are using has bad markings for [/]   
This doesn't look like a file from the CHILDES database.  So, you  
should make sure the file first passes CHECK.
