mirattacktime.m

function varargout = mirattacktime(orig,varargin)
%   a = mirattacktime(x) returns the duration (in s.) of each note attack. 
%   Optional arguments:
%   a = mirattacktime(x,l) specifies whether to consider the duration in s.
%       (l='Lin') or the logarithm of that duration (l='Log') following the
%       approach proposed in Krimphoff et al. (1994).
%       Default value: l='Lin'.
