The simplified annotation (txt) generated by scaper loads fine into Audacity 2.0.5, but doesn't display any labels when loaded into 2.1.3 (macOS).

Example contents:

0.18131 5.127892 siren
1.8938210000000002 5.881943000000001 siren
5.342074 8.890392 siren

Need to find out if this is an Audacity bug, or change of expected format.

Newer versions of audacity don't accept space-separated txt files for labels, must be tab separated.

Proposed solution: change separator from space to tab. Optional: add separator as optional parameter in generate()
