Hi,

we've created an Excel sheet containing Phones vs. Features, which was then filled out by our phonetician
(of course you can figure them out yourself with the IPA specification, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPA_chart_(C)2005.pdf )
A small python script then generates the phone-specific questions from this for each position specifier (LL, L, C, R, RR).

Additionaly we used the non-phone-specific questions from the English questions set.
E.g.  starting with
QS "Seg_Fw==x" {*@x_*}
...
QS "L-Syl_Num-Segs==0"  {*_0/B:*}
...

Best,
Markus

Hi Dina,

It definitely seems like there's a bit of a lack of resources for
designing question files at present, both in terms of software tools
and recipes / standard procedures.  Does anyone know of decent tools to
do this?

Matt
