save_selection_to_sound_and_textgrid.praat

# This script saves the selected portion of a LongSound file to a separate
# Sound file (WAV), and the corresponding part of the TextGrid file to an
# independent TextGrid file. The TextGrid will be "genericized" before saving.
# You have to open the script from within a TextGrid editor window. You can also 
# add a new menu command for this script, e.g., in the File menu of the TextGrid editor.
