Thanks a lot Martin.
As you supossed it was -label-led, so I looked for the underlying numeric
for "no" via -ta b8, nolabel- and I did it.

Well, if it is a -double- then you cannot match it with a string in the
-if code - qualifier. I bet it is -label-led, so look for the underlying
numeric for "no" via -ta b8, nolabel- and say
replace quality = 1 if b8==0
(if 0 is labelled "no")
