[mary-dev] [mary-users] Labelling gaps

[Jerome Perri]

Thank you for confirming this! 

I have another question, please:

Can anyone tell me a good place for discussing TDPSOLA? 
I would very much like to experiment with it, but the example in Mary is - as I understood it - just a starting point.

I would like to be able to ask real newbie questions without being punished or ignored because my questions are just too newbie.

Thank you for any hints.

Jerome
