  2035. NORMAL (U"There are at least five possibilities. Most of them can be checked by zooming in on the @waveform.")
  2036. NORMAL (U"The first possibility is that the pitch has fallen below the @@pitch floor@. For instance, "
  2037. "your pitch floor could be 75 Hz but the English speaker produces creak at the end of the utterance. "
  2038. "Or your pitch floor could be 75 Hz but the Chinese speaker is in the middle of a third tone. "
  2039. "If this happens, it may help to lower the pitch floor to e.g. 40 Hz (@@Pitch settings...@), "
  2040. "although that may also smooth the pitch curve too much in other places.")
  2041. NORMAL (U"The second possibility is that the pitch has moved too fast. This could happen at the end of a Chinese fourth tone, "
  2042. "which drops very fast. If this happens, it may help to use the \"optimize for voice analysis\" setting, "
  2043. "(@@Pitch settings...@), although Praat may then hallucinate pitches in other places that you would prefer to consider voiceless.")
  2044. NORMAL (U"The third possibility is that the periods are very irregular, as in some pathological voices. "
  2045. "If you want to see a pitch in those cases, it may help to use the \"optimize for voice analysis\" setting "
  2046. "(@@Pitch settings...@). Or it may help to lower the \"voicing threshold\" setting (@@Advanced pitch settings...@) "
  2047. "to 0.25 (instead of the standard 0.45) or so.")
  2048. NORMAL (U"The fourth possibility is that there is a lot of background noise, as in a recording on a busy street. "
  2049. "In such a case, it may help to lower the \"voicing threshold\" setting (@@Advanced pitch settings...@) "
  2050. "to 0.25 (instead of the standard 0.45) or so. The disadvantage of lowering this setting is that for non-noisy "
  2051. "recordings, Praat will become too eager to find voicing in some places that you would prefer to consider voiceless; "
  2052. "so make sure to set it back to 0.45 once you have finished analysing the noisy recordings.")
  2053. NORMAL (U"The fifth possibility is that the part analysed as voiceless is much less loud than the rest of the sound, "
  2054. "or that the sound contains a loud noise elsewhere. This can be checked by zooming in on the part analysed as voiceless: "
  2055. "if Praat suddenly considers it as voiced, this is a sign that this part is much quieter than the rest. "
  2056. "To make Praat analyse this part as voiced, you can lower the \"silence threshold\" setting to 0.01 "
  2057. "(instead of the standard 0.03) or so. The disadvantage of lowering this setting is that Praat may start to consider "
  2058. "some distant background sounds (and quiet echos, for instance) as voiced.")
  2059. NORMAL (U"#Question: why do I get different results for the maximum pitch if...?")
  2060. NORMAL (U"If you select a Sound and choose @@Sound: To Pitch...@, the time step will usually "

  2067. NORMAL (U"If you choose ##Move cursor to maximum pitch#, then choose ##Get pitch# from the "
