The following example is and example from Figure 9 in G. Kochanski and C. Shih, Prosody Modeling with Soft Templates, (Speech Communication, Vol 39 (3-4), 2003, pp. 311-352).

# These lines establish basic parameters that describe the speaker:

ltype=settings; jitter=0.0;
ltype=settings; jittercut=1.0;

# These lines describe the shape of different kinds of accents:

# Here we have a step in a phrase curve:
