Does anyone have any insights as to why labiodental trills are *not* greyed out in the IPA chart? Henton brings it up as an example of an impossible sound in a 1987 discussion paper that precedes the Greyboi™, but as far as I can tell it's never been greyed out.

The main new feature is that there's now a function to draw spectral slices

I wrote some software that visualises real-time nasalance for our @phoneticslab.bsky.social public engagement event this week!
We use two microphones to capture oral and nasal signals, separated by a baffle, and map each signal's amplitude to a visual representation of the face!

In sunny news, praatpicture version 1.5.0 is now on CRAN 🌞🧨 and you can now finally overlay pitch and intensity on the waveform (thanks to @jannelorenzen.bsky.social for suggesting this)

Very exciting news for PraatSauce users! We've just pushed a new version which fully rewrites the code base, making things faster and simpler to use.
Instead of settings parameters in a bunch of Praat windows, you now set them in a spreadsheet file that looks like this

Didn't get the grant that inspired this mood. One "significant weakness" of the proposal was that I can't "adequately demonstrate (...) experience with longitudinal corpus studies and real-time analyses of sound change"
