Sure, just add both romanizations to your phoneme, and it will figure it out no matter how you spell it, as long as the romanizations don't overlap with the romanizations for other phonemes.

No, I mailed you some last week.faiuwle wrote:You mean what you posted in this thread? I'd need the whole file to really test things, though I have been slacking for a bit lately, so I don't need it right now. I do have a sample db file that came with LP, but I'd rather look at what actual conlangers are doing with it.

I don't know; I can't reproduce it. What are your phonotactics? Is the spelling being correctly read from the file?Shinali Sishi wrote:Edit: is there a reason the autophonology likes to ignore my word final codas? Like gem it lists as /ge/ and chanchan as /tSan.tSa/
I can't reproduce this either. You're not still using 0.1, are you? Try downloading the latest version, and if it still does it, let me see your savefile.Qwynegold wrote:1. Whenever I add a blank line, after I quit the program and then start again, it will have added several blank lines there.
Yeah, that's probably a good idea. I'll add a confirmation if you try to overwrite a different file, too.2. When you start the program, it automatically says the name of which conlang's name comes first in alphabetical order in the load and save as fields. I think this is really dangerous because you could accidentally save over another conlang's dictionary. I think that when you load a dictionary, the same name should automatically be displayed in the save as field.
Just go through and find all of the words listed as "time" and change them to "temporal" - the list is just a list of all the strings currently being used as types and subtypes. Type and subtype are going to get overhauled when I do features, at which point it should probably be easier to manage them globally.3. Is there a way to delete a type or subtype? I had "time" as a subtype of adverbs, but I want to change it to "temporal".
Yeah, I can do that.4. It would be nice if there was an ignore characters function. For example in one dictionary I have spaces and dashes that don't correspond to any phoneme (for example I have entries such as "kyappo-langp'o" and "negefak'p'ö k'ūllössen"), so I have to first write the entry as one word and then change the spelling without updating the phonology. If it was possible to have the program ignore certain characters it would be more user-friendly.
What are you trying to do? Are you wanting to use phones instead of phonemes for everything, or do you just want to specify phones when they differ significantly from the phonemes? Or something else? I could(I might be the only person who would have use of this, so this issue is not so important.) It would be nice if one could have [] instead of //.
Nope, it was 0.2. I'll try version 0.3...faiuwle wrote:I can't reproduce this either. You're not still using 0.1, are you?

Oh, then I'll wait for that. Oh yeah, this reminds me.

In this particular lexicon I want to have phonetic representation instead of phonemic. If it's not too much trouble I would really appreciate nr. 1.faiuwle wrote:What are you trying to do?

1) make a global setting like you suggested
2) make a phonetic field for you to fill in manually if you wanted, or even
3) do something where you could specify a set of allophones and then set the phonetic field via the interface
but I'm not sure I want to set up all the interface it would need to be able to specify allophonic rules and then follow them automatically. It's not that that would be hard, but it's a lot of interface and overhead and it's not really part of my overall design. It would kind of depend if you were going to want something more detailed here in the future (because then it would make sense to at least lay a ground structure with the allophones and the extra field) or if you just want a cosmetic change option.
Not out yet. There were different 0.2s depending on the date. I asked about 0.1 because the save and load stuff was fundamentally different and much more error-prone.Qwynegold wrote:Nope, it was 0.2. I'll try version 0.3...

Ahh, whitespace. Yeah, I'm going to make spaces be ignored by default.Shinali Sishi wrote:I solved the word-final coda problem (actually by remembering a glitch in sounds - a space after the word will make it not recognize the coda as such and it just ignores the syllable! I edited the cdic file and that's happy now.)
Other than thinking the already suggested ignoring spaces/hyphens/parentheses would be just swell, It is working perfectly now!
Oh, so it shouldn't be happening in the version I'm using? I'll send to file to you...faiuwle wrote:Not out yet. There were different 0.2s depending on the date.

Do you mean the part where you add phonemes? I haven't experienced anything that's wrong with it, except this one thing I can't figure out the meaning of:faiuwle wrote:By the way, is the new phonology-editing stuff working well?
No, actually - the place where you manually edit the phonologies of the words, since you were talking about turning off the phonotactics.Qwynegold wrote:Do you mean the part where you add phonemes?
That's weird, and I can't reproduce that either.When you have the "show parsing order" checked and write stuff in the spellings field, then if you check "show alphabetic order", all the spellings fields are empty, so you have to write all the spellings twice, once for the parsing order and once for the alphabetic order.
