Hi Roman,

is it correct to have a factor 1/3 resp. 2/3 in the first sine of the
trig. products in term 1,3 and 4 but not in term2? I ask, because the
outcome would be significantly simpler:

In[10]:=
\[Psi] := -(((Sin[(1/3)*Pi*(t - 5/4)]*Cos[Pi*(t - 5/4)])/(t - 5/4) +
      (Sin[(1/3)*Pi*(t + 1/4)]*Cos[Pi*(t + 1/4)])/(t + 1/4))/Pi) +
   ((Sin[(2/3)*Pi*(t - 7/8)]*Sin[2*Pi*(t - 7/8)])/(t - 7/8) -
     (Sin[(2/3)*Pi*(t - 1/8)]*Sin[2*Pi*(t - 1/8)])/(t - 1/8))/Pi
In[11]:=
Timing[(Integrate[#1 /. t -> Cases[Factor[Denominator[#1]],
        (c_.)*t + (a_) /; c =!= 0 :> x - a/c, Infinity, 1],
     {x, -Infinity, Infinity}] & ) /@ Expand[\[Psi]^2]]
Out[11]=
{28.061999999999998*Second, {1}}

Greetings,
  Peter
