It is in Eric Mrozek's Highland-pipe-friendly version of abc2ps: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~mrozek/abc/abc2ps.html#bagpipe which AFAIK is the only tadpole-producing abc software which implements all the desired special behaviours which should invoked by K:Hp and K:HP. The standard unfortunately doesn't mention the gracenote length issue associated with K:HP, only the key sig and stem directions, but I think this would be a reasonable default. K:HP is for Highland pipe music specifically, and we like our gracenotes short (and slash-free)! The standard itself doesn't say anything about how gracenotes should be displayed. In the V1.6 standard, it says "Grace notes have no time value and so expressions such as {a2} or {a>b} are not legal." In the draft standard we have, "Although nominally grace notes have no melodic time value, expressions such as {a2} and {a>b} can be useful and are legal although some packages may ignore them." cheers, Ewan Macpherson To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
