It is not allowed to have different parts from different time trials Also, since the bullet times are different, I have to assume that those different trial tiers are associated with different media files. Each CHAT transcript can only have one media file associated with it. So, what you did will not let you playback bullets correctly. If different trials from which you copied and pasted tiers are all referencing the same media file, then you need to assemble those trial samples in the right order within your compilation file. If you do not care about playing bullets in this compilation of different trials file, then you can just delete all bullets from the file using "Edit->Replace" menu. In the "Replace String" dialog put text cursor in the "Replace" field and click on "insert Bullet" button. Next click "Replace all" button and CLAN will remove all bullets from the file. Now CHECK will not complain about bullets.<br><div>

I think the problem is that the transcripts we are working with are a compilation of different trials copied and pasted into one file.
