    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> attempts to detect onset times, the
    beginning of discreted sound events, or beat locations, in audio
    signals.</para>

    <para>When using the <option>--cut</option> option,
    <command>&dhpackage;</command> takes an input sound file and produce small
    files sliced at onset locations (or silences). The slices can then be sent
    for example to a player, a sequencer, or a sampler.</para>

    <para>A plotting module is available via the Gnuplot Python package.</para>
