Scripting

Overview

Phonometrica can be controlled and extended using a simple scripting language. Scripting can be used in three ways:

• Interactively, using the console at the bottom of the main window.

• Creating scripts which can be saved and reused.

• Creating Plugins, which are extensions that can add features to Phonometrica.

Attention

The scripting engine was rewritten. If you have scripts written for an earlier version of Phonometrica, read Migrating old scripts to update them.
