partially unintelligible utterances

[Jamie Smith]

I was trying to get CLAN to exclude interrupted, abandoned, and partially
unintelligible utterances from its analyses of a batch of transcripts. I
used CHSTRING to change +/ and +... into +/ [+bch] and +... [+bch], which
worked swimmingly. Not so for unintelligible utterances, unfortunately,
since the unintelligible bit can be anywhere in the utterance.

So my question is whether there's a way to exclude those utterances, and not
just the unintelligible parts of them. Thanks for your help.
