Re: [OT] Identification of a bagpipe embellishment?

[J Martin Rushton via LilyPond user discussion]

I hesitated in replying since I started to learn the Highland Pipes a 
__long__ time ago, and never really stuck with them.  In "Logans 
Complete Tutor for the Highland Bagpipe"* from page X onwards they are 
consistently referred to as gracenotes.  They can be single or up to 
five gracenotes (though I counted up to 7 in some exercises).  They are 
essential between repeated notes or where there are awkward fingering 
changes because the bagpipe cannot be tongued as for other wind instruments.

Your example would be notated

*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

Good point.  I've checked, and it is set.

Thanks, I'm quite well aware about extra "To:" entries, "CC:" entries or
"BCC:".  I'm also aware of the "Sent" mailbox which preserves an
outgoing copy.  All of the above though short-circuits the process
inasmuch as they are returned either by my MUA (Thunderbird) or else by
the first MTA that it hits.  None of them prove that the message has
reached Lily's MUA and hence the other members of the mailing
list.

Thanks Urs.  I was starting to think I was on some blacklist.  I'm still
not seeing my own posts, I'll have to investigate why.

Problems with the mailing list?

At 18/10/2019, 23:14 I sent the following message as part of the
"Frescobaldi, improve support for audio export" thread:

%<---
Anyone planning on using VLC on Fedora, RHEL or CentOS needs to check
out the current situation.  For RHEL/CentOS AIUI:

7.7 VLC from the usual sources does not work (in fact crashes some updates).
8.0 VLC is not available.

There is a VLC available through flatpack, but I've not used it (so
therefore cannot comment), but have seen warnings that it will pull in
up to 1.2 GiB of other packages including the complete KDE implementation.

The message does not appear to have got through to the main listing, but
the second and third parts of it were picked up by "Bill", and appended
to a note about Mint (to which they had no relevance) and labelled
"Curious".

Half of this was then picked up by Hraban with the comment "Don’t know
where those come from".

I replied to the thread pointing out the original message and the
context to which it belongs, and supplying the sources for the statements:

%<---
Nowhere did I mention Mint.  The summary is derived from traffic on the
CentOS maillist (cen...@cantos.org) and the CentOS forums
(https://www.centos.org/forums).
%<---

This has again failed to be published.

I see that Bill is again part quoting me in a new thread "vlc or
comverting midi to mp3".

Please desist from partial, out of context, quotations accompanied by
disparaging comments.  It is particularly important where the original
signature is copied in, as for Bill's first reply.

Anyone planning on using VLC on Fedora, RHEL or CentOS needs to checkout
the current situation.  For RHEL/CentOS AIUI:

7.7 VLC from the usual sources does not work (in fact crashes some updates).
8.0 VLC is not available.

There is a VLC available through flatpack, but I've not used it (so
therefore cannot comment), but have seen warnings that it will pull in
up to 1.2 GiB of other packages including the complete KDE implementation.

Wow, that's digging back a bit.  I remember contributing to that thread,
so I won't repeat myself!
