Hi Lisa,

	You can also look at the bottom red line in FLUCALC spreadsheet output. It will say something like:

This spreadsheet was run in syllable mode

You'll see so much info that you'll have to scroll up to see this piece of info which tells you that you need to add +b to the command line if you want to select word mode. Otherwise, it will use syllables.

>>> I have a similar question to Tracy.  On p. 139 of the manual, it states "The user can select to have FLUCALC use either words or syllables as the denominator for the computation of percentages (indicated below by %)."  How do we know what the default denominator is when we only Run "flucalc +t*CHI" ?   <>

These additional times are then summarized in 9 columns are the end of the output.”

We haven’t been able to find this in the manual or published articles. The denominator doesn’t seem to be based on the overall elapsed time, but we can’t verify if it is based on the elapsed time from bullet to bullet for each speaker. Could you point us to what information FLUCALC is pulling for these measures?
