I responded to the issue. Copying the response here as well. The page is indeed about the Great Highland Bagpipes so the text at the top should be changed to: "LilyPond contains special definitions for writing music for the Great Highland Bagpipe", or something similar.
The manual uses "nominally D major (even though that isn’t really true)". Maybe a better way of putting it is similar to Wikipedia: "Bagpipe music is written in the key of D major with the key signature usually omitted from scores". The mixolydian modus may be of historical interest, but most players have no idea of what that is. Since "bagpipe.ly" contains a lot more for notation than what is included in the manual, perhaps we should direct people to look directly at the file for reference?
