Description
The Audacity open source sound editor, supports the marking and naming of soundfile regions (name, start, end), which may overlap with each other and which may be exported in a simple file format. This class imports such files and converts the information into a lookup dictionary of Events. If no label name has been given, the label index (an Integer) is used as a key instead. The events can then be played directly, or used in event patterns (see also: LabeledSoundFile).
To create the labels in Audacity, go to Tracks>Add Label At Selection.
To export them, use: File>Export Labels.
For interfacing with the event and pattern system, the class LabeledSoundFile can be used. For some examples, see the file intro.scd.
