I am writing a praat script to segment a file, but also add padded boundaries. When I use the following line:
start = 9.17
paddedStart = fixed$(start - 0.200, 3)
I get the error
"Found a string expression instead of a numeric expression"
but if I try
paddedStart = fixed$(number(start), 3)
I get the error
"The function "number" requires a string, not a number."
How can I used the fixed$
function to limit the number of decimal places in a number?
