Checker does not parse multi-participant tiers

[itang1]

If a tier hosts segments from 2+ indistinguishable speakers, coders are supposed to indicate that by naming the participant as "MULTI" (see here for the tutorial).

However, the minCHAT checker does not seem to look for errors, capitalizations, or hyphens on tiers where the participant name does not exactly match the tier name.

You're right! It'd be nice to add that. I thought about it before, but I got all sorts of strings, e.g., "multi", "MULTI", "multiple speakers", "multi-speaker", etc., so I gave up.

For now, please consider this a shortcoming of the checker where human eyes will have to step in! I will try to find time to fix it in a few weeks. Thank you for posting the issue!
