    ----------
    token_tuples : list of (str, unicode)
        a list/generator of (token ID, token string) tuples

    Returns

    onset_tuples : generator of (str, int, int)
        A list/generator of (token ID, onset, token length) tuples.
        Note that PAULA starts counting string onsets with 1!
