Mark,

Here are some more errors I've found in the XML files. You may well have
discovered them yourself already.

Parsing
=======

2106 the lights of Rome
2107 the nights at Rome
2152 to give a rip

should all be weak-strong-weak-STRONG in their syllable pattern. they are
currently parsed as weak-strong-weak-WEAK.

Timing
======

2069 they said it was rust

appears to have no timing information in the XML file.

On another issue, am I correct in thinking that uttfind matches only the
first instance of a pattern in each XML file? If so, this might be a
problem for us since, for example, there are about 100 files with more
than one schwa in them.

Is there any possibility of enabling uttfind to report all instances of a
match rather than just the first?

Best wishes,
Paul
