mlu5 for multiple transcripts

[bwv141 at gmail.com]

Hi Leonid

My question differs from Elma's but relates to the subject line so I am 
posting it here. 

I want to get MLU based on the longest five utterances (MLU5) for 33 
separate files. I can do this following the tutorial in the manual for one 
file. But for my own analyses, I have multiple files that I want to get one 
output file for (containing the 33 results - not an average). Is there a 
way to do this?

This is what I thought would work but doesn't:
maxwd +g1 +c5 +d1 +tCHI +o%mor –s"[+ bch]" –s+\” @(I enter my files here by 
clicking File In) | mlu

The above command brings up error messages about %mor tiers not being 
associated with speakers - which I don't think is an issue since it runs 
fine when I do it for an individual file. 

So then I created a batch file, as outlined in the tutorial. But that 
brings up an error message saying "Can't open output file". Even if I was 
doing this correctly and it worked, I actually don't want 33 separate files 
for each output - I'd like them all in one output file (but not averaged). 

Any help would be appreciated, 

Thanks
V
