If the problem that you are actually addresing is audio/speech signal segmentation and distinguishing between the speech and music, see:

I could be wrong on this but Praat seems to be not so usefull for polyphonic music analysis, except if augmented with some additional pre-filtering for the purpose of segmentation:
