19.2 Average durations

If parameter Duration_Method is set to Averages then segmental durations are set to their averages. The variable phoneme_durations should be an a-list of phones and averages in seconds. The file lib/mrpa_durs.scm has an example for the mrpa phoneset.

If a segment is found that does not appear in the list a default duration of 0.1 seconds is assigned, and a warning message generated.
