Usage

spells.overlap(s1, s2)
spells.hit(needle, haystack)
search.spell(needle, haystack)

spells.overlap returns a boolean indicating if the two spells overlap or not.

spells.hit returns the integer row index of the first (earliest) spell in haystack that overlaps with needle, or -1 if no overlaps are found

search.spell returns a vector containing the row indices of spells in haystack that overlap with needle, or numeric(0) if none found

Arguments

s1

First spell for in the comparison, must be a two-element numeric vector in the form [onset,terminus]

s2

Second spell for in the comparison, must be a two-element numeric vector in the form [onset,terminus]

needle
