Hello all, I am certain that the LilyPond community has a number of bagpipe players, and I hope that I do not bother you with the following problem that I have come across: I am transcribing a bagpipe piece written in Bb major into “conventional” notation (where the scale is based on A), and come across the following embellishment: [cid:image001.png@01D5E132.0BE63BB0] In conventional notation it would be written as: [cid:image002.png@01D5E132.25A59280] In case Mailman refuses to send the images, the embellishment consists of what appears to be the beginning of a F doubling (written as the grace notes High G and F), then a strike to D, then the main note becomes a High G. Putting aside the possibility of the fingering, the sequence is gfdG, where lowercase letters are grace notes and the uppercase letter is the main note. However, I am having trouble finding the name of the embellishment. I have tried searching it by the notes, but without luck.
The embellishment in question is from the transcription of an avant-garde piece: The Most Unwanted Music by Dave Soldier. In the score, the transcriber makes a note that “[t]he score cannot reflect accurately all the music, and the performers should also listen to the CD”, so it is also possible that this embellishment is actually the result of a transcription error. I am by no means a professional bagpipe player, so any advice would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Brian Guo
