the basic structure of dialog/vocab 

<vocab>
      <line>
        <migmaq> migmaq transcripton </migmaq>
        <english> english translation </english>
        <soundfile> soundfile path </soundfile>
        (<picture>) picturefile path to be added <picture /> 
      </line>
  </vocab>

In some cases in actual lessons, it is preferable to have two lines correspond to just one sound file, but the data structure requires each sound file to be associated with one line. This can be circumvented by dividing the sound file to two, as it is usually question-response type dialogue. The same applies for pictures. In some cases two or more lines will correspond to just one picture. I think it is probably better to get sound and picture from the line-embedding and put line, sound, picture on the same level embedded inside dialog/vocab. Needs to be discussed by the research team member.

just need to remove the tags from the xml where you don't need them. don't have to put them outside . we'll anyway have to consult with team members as for the revision of the xml.

MasterScript crashes most likely because of the missing source files and empty tags. XML and the source file folders need to be inspected.
