Dear Rachel,

    Yes, this is all correct. Section 16.1 of the CHAT manual on code-switching also explains this.

In English-dominant data file there should not be any "[- eng]" pre-codes. If your data file has both "[- eng]" and "[- spa]" pre-codes, then +s"[- spa]" option will tell MOR to run only on Spanish utterances and +s"[- eng]" will tell MOR to run only on English utterances, but it is best not to mix those two pre-codes in the same data file.

When I run MOR on the second language, it runs fine with no errors, but the output files are not showing the %mor and %gra tiers for utterances that are fully in the L2 (e.g., lines with [- spa] for an English-dominant file). Additionally, individual words tagged with @s are getting tagged as expected, but it seems to not be happy with full utterances in the L2.
