Hello all,

Thanks for the info, but I know that I could just \include “bagpipe.ly” and use the command defined there \pgrace{g32[ f d]}; I was wondering if there was a conventional name for the embellishment (even if it is not defined in bagpipe.ly), for example, gracenotes HighGDE (followed by the main note D) is a doubling on D, gracenotes LowGDC is a throw on D, GDG is a grip/leumluath, GDGE is a taorluath, and so on.

Hello,

Piper and the creator of "bagpipe.ly" here. Without listening to the music and some more notational context I'd say that is a misprint. It looks like a slur on f followed by a g melody note which is incorrect. A slur should start with a gracenote higher than the melody note (either g or high a), then the melody note, then a gracenote lower than the melody note (either one step lower or several steps depending on the finger position). In this case it should be "\slurg g4" which should expand to "\pgrace{A32[ g f]}". It looks like the definition in "bagpipe.ly" is wrong here though.
