repeated interjections and timestamps with Mac OS

Good questions.  If you sense that these are stuttering behaviors, then adding the [/] would make sense.  In any case, forms beginning with the & are filtered out of measures anyway, so perhaps either approach is okay.  

Regarding copying the timestamp markers from the media player, we did indeed use that method years ago and something similar was done when we used Walker Controller.  However, with the shift to transcription and alignment through ASR, there are now better and faster ways to get time marks into transcripts.

Should we also use [/] for repeated stuttering-like interjections, as with "*CHI: he &-um [/] &-um [/] &-um likes puppies"? or just give three iterations of &-um without the [/]? To be clear, this is for instances where the quality is stuttering-like but there is not any obvious block (i.e., distinct from "&-≠um").

When my research assistants use CLAN on their MacBooks, however, the linked media player does not show a timestamp that they can copy/paste and it makes adjusting these values more cumbersome in the transcript. Is anyone aware of a way to reveal the timestamp value in the media player on a Mac?
