Nearly all programs allow you to stretch or compress the time scale,
allowing you to back off for a general look, or zoom in to a particular
portion of a song for finescale analysis.

What a wealth of expert information is generated by Naturerecordists.  (Eve=
n
if a lot of it is beyond my ability to understand it.)

Compiled, it would make a wonderfully useful book, but I guess the same
problem as with the electronics comes up:  there are simply too few nature
sound recordists to interest a publisher. (Unless perhaps if there is some
way we naturerecordists could turn publisher.)

A lot of attention is being given in recent postings to the frequency scale
of sonagrams.  What about the relation between the time scale and the
frequency scale?

Imagine a note which is a glissando slide up in pitch.  Shorten the time
scale relative to the frequency and it approaches a vertical stroke on a
sonagram.  Lengthen it enough and the trace approaches horizontal.

Anyone like to comment on the approaches adopted by various sonagram-type
programs?
