[mary-users] Strange Mary TTS results with bits3 and de7 voices on very simple German sentences

Hi,
I have to ask again:
Where do I find the "Phonemes" format?
After adapting to the existing pronounciation lexikon my test phrase  
is "Du bringst Blumen!"
It is read if it comes without any additional tags. But as soon as I  
try a sampa transcription nearly following the de.txt entry, I get an  
error message.
The beatles and button example of your website works. The button from  
there is missing in de.txt, while the beatles are there, and  
nevertheless the example works with its sampa tags. Why?

So how are the standards of admissible sampa tags?
In which cases can users add pronunciation tags?

I attach the log file clips of interest.

Cheers Brigitte
