<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Annabelle,
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder>
<DIV> 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:</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>vocd +t*CHI +r1 +r6 <A href="mailto:-s@dog">-s@dog</A> *.cha</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>So, there is nothing particularly problematic about the +rr1 and
+r6</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-gb>It is inconsistent and I can’t seem to work out
what the problem is. Is it likely that it is something to do with an error
