Dave, A lot of these markings (not all) appear in the extended range tunes - presumably transcribed/adapted fiddle tunes, and may be copieded from fiddle articulations. Any known sources, Matt? In the obvious pipe tunes, say Meggy's Foot, it is still possible to get a gradation between staccatissimo/staccato/ poco staccato/tenuto, (explained to me once as respectively 'pip', 'pop', 'pom', and 'pah' ) and play the notes without actually slurring anything.
