Although I see that this would be a nice to have feature, unfortunately this will be extremely difficult and very time consuming to achieve/implement as the annotation structure of emuDBs can be quite complex (see for example Figure 4.2: B here: https://ips-lmu.github.io/The-EMU-SDMS-Manual/chap-annot-struct-mod.html#per-database-annotation-structure-definition) and one would have to try to map the set of TextGrids tiers to those annotation structures. Unfortunately I don't see me having the time to implement this any time soon. The current workflow for adding new files TextGrids to an existing emuDB that I recommend is the following:
convert_TextGridCollection()
autobuild_linkFromTimes()
create the exact same annotation structure as the existing emuDB
At the moment, one can use convert_TextGridCollection() to create an emuDB. This works great, but afaik it is not possible to add TextGrid collections to an existing emuDB. It seems to me that adding this flexibility would be very useful. Two thoughts on how to approach this:
