<div dir="ltr">Thank you for your quick response! I think the problem is that the transcripts we are working with are a compilation of different trials copied and pasted into one file. After reading your message, we tried to edit the bullet numbers, but it seems that there are many bullet times that do not correspond since the files were copied and pasted in. Is there an easier solution than re-numbering all of the bullets from the copied file? I have included an example of the issue below.<div><br></div><div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><div><b>Example:</b></div><div><br></div><div>*SUB: <he was> [//] he loved going to the casino and playing the slot</div><div>machines. •797965_803733•</div><div>*SUB: he was on the slot machines three hours 0 [=! vocalizes]. •803733_806725•</div><div>@Eg: Run1</div><div>@Bg: Run2</div><div>*SUB: so Butch and his sister Sally went to the playground uh@fp looking</div><div>for some fun. •123817_158243•</div><div>*SUB: and they decided to play on the <&see> [//] seesaw so Butch got on</div><div>one side.</div><div>*SUB: Sally got on the other side and immediately they saw</div><div>the problem. •158243_165974•</div></div><br>On Monday, March 30, 2015 at 9:49:32 PM UTC-4, Spektor, Leonid: CMU wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Allison,<div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre"> </span>This error only effects two tiers.
