Auralise Audacity annotations / Generate audio click track from list of click times

Question

I'm trying to annotate musical audio file in Audacity and then "listen" to annotations along with the file to check they are placed right. I haven't found an Audacity plugin that does it, but when I export Audacity labels I get a file like:

3.558390    
4.248639    
4.910771    
5.632766    
6.349320    
...

This time of file (in seconds) where point labels were placed. Maybe there's a tool (or maybe you can do it programmatically (in C++ on Linux preferably)) to easily generate such a click track? I would be then able to mix it with original file and listen to inspect it.

Answer 1

I've found two ways to solve this issue:

Write your own plugin in Nyquist (what I'm trying to do), I received great help on the Audacity forum: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=68752

Use Sonic Visualiser: http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/

This program combines two important features: insertion of annotations when audio is played and auralisation (different sounds available).
