textgRid 1.0.2

Current development version on Github

encoding argument added to TextGrid() constructor in order to handle non-ASCII characters in .TextGrid files, which is useful for IPA symbols and symbols from the world's languages. By default (encoding = NULL), the encoding of file is guessed using readr::guess_encoding; however, this can be overridden by identifying the encoding explicitly (e.g., encoding = "UTF-8" or encoding "UTF-16BE").
Some versions of Praat write TextGrid files with spaces; other versions write with tabs. Previous versions of textgRid assumed spaces, but now both formats can be handled.
