So, what is the format to alter the pitch this way?

Thanks!

I thought I would try to approach this another way, by putting the pitch variable into the string, so that this:

$Text = '<pitch middle="50">can also talk high</pitch>'oÝ÷ Ù·¢g¬²¶§X¤zØb±«­¢+ØÀÌØíQáÐôÅÕ½Ðì±ÐíÁ¥Ñ µ¥±ôÅÕ½ÐìµÀìÌäìÅÕ½ÐìÀÌØíÁ¥ÐÅÕ½ÐìÌäìµÀìÌäìÐìÌäìµÀìÀÌØíÑáеÀìÅÕ½Ðì±Ðì½Á¥Ñ ÐìÅÕ½Ðì

But I can`t work the right way to do it...

Thanks as always.

the proper way to format the line you showed is this

$Text = '<pitch middle="'&$pit&'">' &$text &"</pitch>"
