Render the word tier above the phone tier in TextGrid timelines - #168
Merged
Conversation
Flips _TIER_ORDER so "words" sorts before "phones" wherever a TextGrid timeline is drawn — the Viewer, Compare Alignments, and Correct Alignments all share this widget. Words-over-phones reads top-down from coarse to fine, which is the order these tiers are conventionally shown in and the order reviewers expect when scanning an alignment. The Viewer's inline active-segment label was building its parts straight from _loaded_tiers in raw file order, so it could disagree with the timeline right above it. It now sorts through the same _TIER_ORDER.

Every place a TextGrid timeline is drawn shares this widget — the Viewer, Compare Alignments, and Correct Alignments — so all three pick up the new order.Words-over-phones reads top-down from coarse to fine, which is the order these tiers are conventionally displayed in and the order reviewers expect when scanning an alignment.

The Viewer's inline active-segment label (
_update_active_segment_label) was assembling its parts straight fromself._loaded_tiersin raw file order, so the label could list phones before words while the timeline directly above it showed the opposite. It now sorts through the same_TIER_ORDERmap, so label and timeline always agree.Related
