Sonority files
**************

The sonority files contain both configuration option on syllabification and the
enriched sonority scale (lexicon). The former section is called [General] the
latter [Segments]. 

Compatibility Error
===================

Watch out! Sonority files are not guaranteed to work across releases. In fact, while you can 
freely change the [Segment] section (since the 0.9.7 release), there is no 
warranty that options in [General] will always be the same.
If you're using a sonority file of a different release, as indicated in the 
header section, Sylli may not work properly!

If this is the case, look for differences in the [General] section, or simply 
rewrite you sonority by copy-pasting the section from the default one.

[General] Section
=================

The [General] section defines everything that can be customise and
does not regard the segment inventory. It contains everything you 
can find in the UI (ref...). Note that changing any option in the UI will not 
affect the sonority file. Here is a richly coded example from the default
sonority file.

Segment Inventory
=================

Here you specify your segment inventory. Every input you will give to
Sylli will be converted into a phonological object with the characteristics
specified in the option values (right of the equation). The segment in the 
left specifies the input to be converted.
