Bagpipe embellishments

• Feb 12, 2021 - 04:24

In particular, the single grace note. In playback the high-G, E, D, low-G grace notes sound for 1/2 the time value of the embellished note, making the playback unuseable. Even substituting a "regular" 32nd-note single grace note from the regular grace note palette for the grace note pulled from the bagpipe embellishments palette did not solve the problem. Compound embellishments, e.g., grips & doublings seem to sound OK.
Any ideas to get the single ones to sound like the tiny peep they should sound like??
See attached.
Also, I note that there's no crunluaths or crunluath-a-machs in the bagpipe palette - I created one in the score below, but was UNABLE to add it to the palette - any way to do that?
Thanks,
Ron

Well, I found one thing that works: select the note to which the single grace note applies, press '/''(forward slash) to attach an Acciaccatura (as opposed to the Appoggiatura) grace note. Then change the pitch appropriately and adjust duration ( to 32nd note, with '2' key). A bit cumbersome (3 steps instead of one), but it gives a more reasonable (not great...) playback.
Would be nice to be able to add a drone without needed to add an extra staff...
