Create LICENSE

Removing LICENSE.md in preparation for an attempt to create it using GitHub's own browser so that it will recognise it

try a 3rd time to make GitHub recognise the license

Amplify the 1st part of deng to try to make the 'd' clearer

Re-cut ni4, and add some of the 'n' consonant from ni1 (with volume adjustment) because the 'n' of ni4 was unclear in the original recording

ni3: slightly amplify start + insert slight silence to reduce possibility of confusing with yi3 on phrases like 'mo2ni3 tao3lun4'

3dB amplification on mu3 because it was really too soft (try jia1mu3 for example)

guang[1-3] amplify the start for increased clarity

Amplify the first part of gu2 to make it clearer

Louder yong5 so fei4yong5 etc works better

Unix to DOS, not DOS to Unix (oops)

Remove dependency of Yali voice Makefile on unix2dos or flip commands (use tr instead, more widely available)

Re-cut ting3 from original recording, taking slightly more of the original sound. This makes words like ting3li4 and ting3duo1 a little better.

Fix sheng5 trimming

Change me6 to 285Hz and length 0.45 from me1 (works better with zen3me5shuo1 etc)

Improved tone 6 (high tone 5) for most syllables, by re-running Praat on the tone 1s to get 295 Hz, then using Praat itself (rather than sox) to change the length with 'Lengthen (overlap-add)... 75.0 600.0 0.6' (0.6 = 1/1.67), then using sox to halve the amplitude. Not touching de6 ge6 ne6 huan6 le6 guo6 because these had been worked on manually.

Real de6.wav and ge6.wav retrieved from Yali's original recording (from the padding syllable we used, after tone 3)

setup.bat: avoid popping up an error message when Yali voice is installed before Gradint is

(minor change) setup.bat add a comment

ne6 and huan6 slight improvements: re-generate with tempo 1.5 instead of 1.8, and add the 'h' from huan1 to huan6

amplify wu3.wav, and create wu3-i.wav which is an even more amplified version for use as an initial syllable to a phrase

Better 'tone 6' (high tone 5) for all syllables except de6-f by taking it from the tone 1 syllables instead of tone 5, using sox effects vol 0.4 tempo 1.8 followed by praat to 300Hz. Manual edit le6 guo1 guo6. Delete spurious shen2me6.
