I sometimes find I'd like to either transcribe the melody notes from
a bagpipe score before adding the gracenotes, or extract a version of
the tune with the gracenotes removed.  One way to do that would be to
put the melody and gracenotes in different voices and merge them for
playback or printing.  Like this (with the added oddity that I've
assigned the melody and gracenotes to dfferent instruments, neither
of them the bagpipe):

In practice, BarFly can play that okay, but display hits one of the
spots where there's a red warning triangle on the roadway and Phil
can be seen standing by it with a shovel.  Does any program get it
right?
