I tried it with SPOT by ./ltl2tgba -f "F
(x>1)" and SPOT fails to parse it.
There are two ways to parse it:
Either quote the part you want Spot to consider as an atomic proposition:
ltl2tgba 'F("x > 1")'
Or use --lenient to allow any parenthesized block that Spot do not
understand to be considered as an atomic proposition
ltl2tgba --lenient 'F(x > 1)'
