'Centred' is too strong, but the way the College of Piping has those tunes set, those particular grace notes -- the ones functioning as a transition between two melody notes -- are definitely further from their associated notes than grace notes generally.

The only thing I couldn't manage from the Green Book was the doubled third bar in the second measure of "Inverness Rant", and I found the learning curve in general quite shallow. (Which was *not* the case when I tried to get Andrew McNabb's version to work with 2.6. Ouch.) It's much appreciated stuff, even if I am kvetching about minor points of aesthetics. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
