Regular Interval Labels

Peter 19Nov12: Created this with content from the Analyze Menu page. ToDo-2 Needs the parameters to be documented (as with the Effect commands documentation).

• Peter 22Aug13: This page is written on the assumption that this Analyzer is only used to help cut a long track up into smaller tracks. Surely it has other potential uses?

Regular Interval Labels places labels in a long track so as to divide it into smaller, equally sized segments. For example, this can be useful for distributing a large file on the internet. You can either choose the number of labels to be created, or the interval between them. Each label produced contains the chosen label text.

Accessed by: Analyze > Regular Interval Labels...

You can choose whether or not to add a sequential number for each label, whether the number comes before or after the label text, and the minimum number of digits to use in the label numbers. The default is to have minimum two digits before the label. With that setting, if you had 10 labels with "Label" as the label text, the first label would be "01Label" and the last would be "10Label". "Begin numbering from" lets you start the numbering sequence from any number, even a negative number if desired.

When labels are created by choosing the interval between the labels, by default the label interval is adjusted slightly if needs be so that all the audio segments are of equal length. If you wish the chosen label interval to be respected even if this makes the final audio segment unequal, set "Adjust label interval to fit length" to "No".

After running "Regular Interval Labels", choose File > Export Multiple... to export all the files in one process based on the label points.

Peter 22Aug13: draft documentation of the parameters

Time to place first label

This is the time, in seconds from the beginning of the selected audio where the first label will be placed. The default setting is 0.0 which means that the first label would be placed right at the beginning of the selected audio.

Label placement method

This drop-down enables you to choose which of the following two methods will be used for placing the labels, the default setting is Label interval  .

Label interval

If you have selected Label interval   then the labels will be placed at regular intervals within the selected audio. The default setting is sixty seconds, this can be changed to any positive number of seconds by typing in the box.

Number of labels

If you have selected Number of labels   then a specified number of labels, default 10, will be placed in the selected audio. The number can either be changed by direct typing in the box or by moving the slider. The slider enables you to select settings from 2 to 100.

Label text

This is the text that will be placed in every label. The default setting is Label but this can be replaced by any text, or no text at all if you prefer, by overtyping in the input box.

Minimum number of digits in label

This dropdown enables you to select the number of digits in the label numbers and whether the number is placed before or after the label text. If you select None - text only)   then no numbering will be applied to the labels.

The default setting is 2(before label)   which will yield labels: "01Label", "02Label" and so on.

If you set null label text and select None - text only)   then you will get a set of empty labels.

Adjust label interval to fit length

When labels are created by choosing the interval between the labels, by default the label interval is adjusted slightly if needs be so that all the audio segments are of equal length. If you wish the chosen label interval to be respected even if this makes the final audio segment unequal, set Adjust label interval to fit length to No  .
