MLU bug

[Yuriko Oshima-Takane]

Hi Brian,

Does this mean that we won't be able to ask students to run MLU on the main
tiers with new version 
anymore even though we use "legacy" on @Languages headerline?  I ask
students in my class to morphemicize a sample transcript and run MLU on main
tiers before they learn how to use MOR (and then calculate MLUs on %mor).
Students seem to understand better what MOR and MLU program do by trying out
some morphemicization by themselves.

Dear ChiBolts,

   Leonid says that the problem that Bobbi Corrigan discovered was not due
to the change in the treatment of filled pauses, but to a bug in the older
version of MLU.  In the older version, if you use the +t option to specify a
particular speaker to run analyzes on, then the old version of mlu was
computing MLU off the main speaker tier. By default, without the use of any
+t option, the old version of MLU was working correctly and was counting on
%mor tier.  So, the bug has been fixed, but it is a shame we didn't post a
notice on this.
   However, it was also good to have a chance to explain the current
treatment of filled pauses on the %mor line to bring them into proper accord
with Brown's guidelines.
