SequenceTier

sequences.tiers.SequenceTier(self, tier=SequenceList(), entry_class=None)

A sequence tier

Given a praatio IntervalTier or list of Intervals, creates entry_class instances for every interval.

In addition to the attributes and methods described below, the attributes and methods from TierMixins and WithinMixins are also available.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
tier	list[Interval] | list[SequenceInterval] | IntervalTier | Self	A list of interval entries. Defaults to SequenceList().	SequenceList()
entry_class	Type[SequenceInterval]	The sequence class for this tier. Defaults to SequenceInterval.	None

Examples

from aligned_textgrid import SequenceInterval, Word, SequenceTier

the = Word((0,1, "the"))
dog = Word((0,1,"dog"))

word_tier = SequenceTier([the, dog])

print(word_tier)

Sequence tier of Word; .superset_class: Top_wp; .subset_class: Phone

print(word_tier.sequence_list)

[Class Word, label: the, .superset_class: Top_wp, .super_instance, None, .subset_class: Phone, Class Word, label: dog, .superset_class: Top_wp, .super_instance, None, .subset_class: Phone]
