There is an error in the documentation for pvoc anal https://www.composersdesktop.com/docs/html/cpvocman.htm#USAGEANAL

It states that the maximum number of analysis points is 32768 however the process doesn't allow for values higher than 12380.

QuoteERROR: INCORRECT USE
ERROR: Parameter[1] Value (32768.000000) out of range (2.000000 to 16380.000000)

Also interestingly the documentation states that values must be a power of 2 which is standard for fft analysis and true for almost all values however, 16380 is not a power of 2; 2^14 is 16384. Although the process does run fine with 16380 as the parameter value despite this.

Thanks for pointing out this discrepancy. I can confirm that the upper limit for PVOC points (the -c flag) is indeed 16380. Non-powers-of-two are not precluded, although pow-2 sizes are always the most efficient and fast. We'll look into the possibility of raising the upper limit, at least to 16384 or maybe 32768. In the meantime the online documentation will be corrected. (Offline generally lags behind, as it means changing the distributed packages.)
