Debugging checklist

[x] Have you updated to latest MFA version? [x] Have you tried rerunning the command with the --clean flag?

Describe the issue running: mfa align --clean ~/input english english ~/output works, but it seems to always export to ~/Documents/MFA/input_pretrained_aligner/pretrained_aligner/textgrids instead of ~/output

For Reproducing your issue Please fill out the following:

1. Corpus structure
   • What language is the corpus in? english
   • How many files/speakers? 1
   • Are you using lab files or TextGrid files for input? tried with both
2. Dictionary
   • Are you using a dictionary from MFA? If so, which one? english
   • If it's a custom dictionary, what is the phoneset? also tried librispeech lexicon
3. Acoustic model
   • If you're using an acoustic model, is it one download through MFA? If so, which one? english
   • If it's a model you've trained, what data was it trained on?

Log file Please attach the log file for the run that encountered an error (by default these will be stored in ~/Documents/MFA).

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: linux-gnu
• Version [e.g. MacOSX 10.15, Ubuntu 20.04, Windows 10, etc]
• Any other details about the setup (Cloud, Docker, etc): VM on google compute
