Looking for a trick

I have is some sentences (french) the pitch that decreases at the end. That's right for me.

But in others, shorters, it doesn't.

Is there a trick that allows to force that "decrease" ? Something to insert in text, for example ?

Regards

Christian

This is not pretty to read, but it works for the sound.
> Highlight only the last syllable (not the whole word) and the period at the end.
> Choose Insert Tags, then Relative Pitch.
> Choose -10 for the relative pitch.
If you want something easy to read, enter the original line as a comment before the coded line you have created.

On the readability part, there is an option in TextAloud 4 to hide tags inserted from the Insert Tags menu. You can toggle tags to be displayed / hidden using Insert Tags -> Show Tags and Insert Tags -> Hide Tags.

Currently we do not completely hide the tag, just to let you know a tag is present in the text. So if your text looks like this:

<pitch middle="-10">Here is a relative pitch change</pitch>

it will look like this with tags 'hidden':

<>Here is a relative pitch change<>
