embelishments come in one note lower
Whenever I insert a bagpipe embellishment, it always comes in one note lower.
G gracenotes come in as F gracenotes, D gracenotes come in as C gracenotes, etc.
?

This is by design and because bagpipes are transposing instruments, those embellishments are not supposed to be used for other instruments

It seems like I used musescore on a different computer and didn't have this problem (I upgraded recently and re-installed everything from scratch). Has it changed?
Having to edit every note of every embellishment every time sure slows things down.

You shouldn't need to. Are you trying to use them on an instrument other than bagpipe? Or did you not select up your bagpipe instrument from the instrument list? Also, if you have Concert Pitch turned on, try turning it off, or vice versa. I'm not an expert on bagpipe notation, but my understanding is it does work as expected when used as expected.

I have not selected any instrument, and am not using musescore for playback..
I am just noting music for print.
I'll check on those points and see if it helps, thank you!

Well, you must have some instrument, or you wouldn't have a staff. So I'm guessing you are just using the default empty score, which is a piano. So, no surprise it doesn't work. That default score is fine for playing around here and there, but to do any real work, you should always create a new score with File / New, and either select a template for a specific instrumentation or choose the instrument(s) yourself. This is important so that things like transposition work correct, as well as for playback and other reasons.
I just tried, and selecting bagpipes definitely works, just be sure to have concert pitched turned off (which is the default, so just don't turn it on, or if you do, turn it off again).

Thanks Marc, I will use that workflow from now on!
