	   -lablist list
		 list of labels to be considered as blank
	   -length time
		 length of track produced, in seconds
	   -map map file
		 label mapping file
	   -name feature name
		 eg. Fo Phoneme
	   -class class
		 name of class defined in op file
	   -o output file

	   -pos list
		 list of labels to be regarded as 'pos'
	   -q timestep
		 quantize label timings to nearst value
	   -range range
