I have spent a lot of time to make sure that this really is a bug, and it really is.
I guess the problem occurs when the next sentence starts with a "?", e. g. "? I"
Does anybody know if there is a quick workaround or if the problem has to be corrected by the Mary developers first, and then we need to re-create our voices to create a correct timeline?
The start times of the halfphones however are correct, that's why the bug didn't become obvious I guess.
MfG,
Westermann
