19.3 Klatt durations

If parameter Duration_Method is set to Klatt the duration rules from the Klatt book (allen87, chapter 9). This method requires minimum and inherent durations for each phoneme in the phoneset. This information is held in the variable duration_klatt_params. Each member of this list is a three-tuple, of phone name, inherent duration and minimum duration. An example for the mrpa phoneset is in lib/klatt_durs.scm.
