Cut sound files

This function cuts sound files by non-empty intervals on a specified tier. This tier commonly corresponds to the main_tier specified in get_word_duration.

get_word_sound_files(
  sound_files,
  word_durations,
  extra_tier = NULL,
  directory,
  fileType = "auto",
  from = 1,
  to = Inf,
  units = "samples"
)
