Create a pitch track for a sound.
pitchtrack (sound, f0range = c(60,400), timestep = 2, fs = 22050, minacf = .5,
correction = TRUE, show = TRUE, windowlength = 50, addtospect = FALSE)A dataframe with the following columns:
The analysis window centre point, in milliseconds.
The calculated f0 (pitch).
The value of the autocorrelation function corresponding to the winning f0.
A numeric vector representing a waveform, or a 'sound' object created with the loadsound() or makesound() functions.
A numeric vector of length two where the first value corresponds to the minimum f0 Hz to be considered, and the second represents the maximum to be considered.
How far the analysis window will advance, in milliseconds. If this value is set to zero, the function is applied to the entire signal.
The sampling frequency of the sound. If a 'sound' or 'ts' object is passed, this does not need to be specified.
Autocorrelation values below this are ignored.
If TRUE, ACF values are corrected for lag value.
If TRUE, a plot displaying the pitch track is created.
The length of the analysis window, in milliseconds. This should be approximately three-times longer than the wavelength of the lowest pitch. The default value is appropriate for a floor of 60 Hz.
If TRUE, the pitch track is added to a spectrogram created with the spectrogram() function included in this package. The track is scaled up by a factor of 10 (e.g., 100 Hz will be plotted at 1000 Hz on the spectrogram) so that it will fit nicely in the typical spectrogram range of 0-5000 Hz.

Pitch tracking is carried out using a simplified version of the algorithm described in Boersma (1993), including corrections for lag value and window function. When plotting pitch tracks, the points sizes are proportional to autocorrelation values.

data (sound) ## use the example 'sound' object provided
#sound = loadsound() ## or run this line to use you own sound
## to generate a pitch track
output = pitchtrack (sound)
## to add a pitch to a spectrogram
#spectrogram (sound)
#pitchtrack (sound, addtospect = TRUE)
