+% This function allows the user to stipulate which Singing voice LLD's they
+% wish to forward to a k-means classifier and produces a file of
+% performance characteristics. Input arguments stipulate the LLD's and
+% there is a choice of:-
+%
+% ---- PRAAT FORMANT MEASUREMENTS ----
+%     '_Formant_Burg'
+%     '_Formant_all'
+%     '_Formant_robust'
+%
+% A text file entitled kmeans_Singing_LLD1name_LLD2name_ ... LLDNname.txt
+% is produced that contains the results of the k-mean classification for
+% the LLD's specified and named in the result document title.
