Richard,
We don't really know what Peacock meant by the trill marks. It's even been
suggested that Mr Wright, the publisher, was wholly responsible for the
transcriptions, and, not being a piper, gave it his best shot. We don't know
for certain that Peacock was musically literate (correct me
Me too! Used to go to the Liverpool Trad Club at the Cross Keys in the early
80s, and the Baltic Fleet, the Grapes on Matthew Street, and the shorter-lived
Brook House Club, and made occasional forays to the Bothy in Southport. I
mostly played in sessions though at the Cracke, the Nelson on

Where would music be today if tritones had continued to be proscribed and
thirds widely disapproved of as in the middle ages?
It might have saved us from that Maxwell-Davis stuff grin

I'm afraid I glaze over once we get into classical music theory - my own formal
training was limited to being forced to learn 3rd clarinet in the junior wind
band as an 11 year old - enough to put any young musician off for life. As a

I'd agree, Matt, about the subtle distinction. On NSP, highly-developed
chanter skills are required to make evident any differences in emphasis - we
can't use dynamics and ought not to be choyting, so instead we rely on subtle
adjustments to note length.

That's why I tend to favour Clough repertoire, where the only concern is to
differentiate between some Tom, Dick or Harry ;-)
