[hts-users:00622] A bug in festival/lib/hts.scm

["Heiga ZEN (Byung Ha CHUN)" <zen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I found a bug in festival/lib/hts.scm.

;  length of next phrase (word)
 (format ofd "=:%s"
        (if (string-equal "pau" (item.feat s "name"))
            (item.feat s "n.R:SylStructure.parent.parent.R:Phrase.parent.lisp_num_words_in_phrase")
            (item.feat s "R:SylStructure.parent.parent.R:Phrase.parent.n.lisp_num_words_in_phrase")))

In the above code, "=:%s" should be "=%s".
This bug exists in both festival 1.95 and 1.96, and may degrades speech quality. 
If you are using any HTS US English voices with festival, please fix.

Best regards,

Heiga ZEN (Byung Ha CHUN)
