<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Eline,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm also waiting for this process to get easier one day. One recent improvement since FLEx 9 is that you can create custom text fields which match the tier names of your ELAN project, so that all your tiers can make the round trip. <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 19, 2023 at 1:25 PM Alexander Rice <<a href="mailto:ax.h.rice@gmail.com">ax.h.rice@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Eline,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm curious what it is you want to do, that requires a second pass through FLEx.</div><div><br></div><div>I've had to think about this with my work, since some of my recordings are conversations, which FLEx doesn't handle very well, so generally I just have a separate EAF file per speaker, tag and gloss each separately in FLEx, then merge all of them together in a single ELAN file with the 'merge transcription' function. That ensures that any extra tiers you have that FLEx may ignore make into the final ELAN file.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 17, 2023 at 2:02 AM Eline Visser <<a href="mailto:eelienu@pm.me" target="_blank">eelienu@pm.me</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px">Hi,</div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px">Has anyone hacked ELAN and FLEx yet so that one can go back and forth between the two programmes without losing annotations?
