[R] Prosodic/phonetic analysis with R

[Shravan Vasishth]

You might want to look at EMU:

http://emu.sourceforge.net/

Praat has a scripting language associated with it, their web page
describes it, and others have tutorials on Praat scripting (just
search on Google). People I know in this area use EMU as well as
Praat.  From your description of your needs the Praat scripting
language is probably the starting point for you.
