8.9.5 Walkthrough: Keep An Installed Voice Experiment ¶
Create reading-demo as in Make a personal reading palette, or deliberately
choose an existing personal destination. Note the active palette and whether
selection follows the standard baseline or is explicit. Saving into an
existing destination changes that resource; it is not preview-only practice.
- In the voice browser, open t, adjust a field, and preview with P~/~B.
Press w to keep it.
- Select the personal destination and named voice
bolden. Choose Physical
voice and adjustments — this choice, then Add as preferred. This places
the experiment first while retaining alternatives.
- The common editor opens an unsaved proposal. Expand Fallbacks: the new
first choice is customised, preceding previous explicit choices. P plays
the whole proposed voice; inspect its actual reported engine/voice because
an unavailable preference may fall back.
- w saves and applies. Wait for its result and follow
Recovering Unfinished Changes after partial saving or failed application.
Success selects the destination for this session. Use U in Voice
Palettes only to choose it for startup too.
- Before saving, undo or discard to reverse. After saving, reopen the voice,
expand fallbacks, choose Remove in the added row’s RET action menu,
preview, and save. Other choices and shared tuning remain. To restore
session selection, use f in Voice Palettes if you originally followed
the standard baseline; otherwise activate the recorded explicit palette.
For independent fallback tuning, open its menu and Customize this voice.
Change one field, audition that row, then test Play whole fallback chain.
The custom field overrides shared tuning only for that choice. i restores
inheritance; reordering carries adjustments with the row.
