Brian,
Not being a piper I am not sure of nomenclature, yet Lilypond has the
command “\grace”.
Your example would be notated
\version "2.19.84"
\relative c'' {
\grace {g'32 f d} g4
}

*Subject:* [OT] Identification of a bagpipe embellishment?
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:
In conventional notation it would be written as:
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
