Bagpipe music

• May 22, 2010 - 23:53

I play the highland bagpipe which is a primitive instrument that can only play legato at a fixed volume. To add some rhythm multiple grace notes are inserted.
The attached .pdf file was written with a DOS based program with Bagpipe Music Writer.
Can MuseScore insert groups of grace notes as is in the example?

John

David,
Thank you for your reply.
If you look at Coppermill at the end of the second bar there is a G gracenote.
The handbook says: Create a grace note by dragging a grace note symbol from the Grace Notes palette (In versions 0.9.5 and earlier the palette is simply called Notes) to a regular note on the score.
When I try dragging a grace note from the palate nothing happens in either edit or note adding mode
If I double click on the grace note on the palate with the F highlighted I get a F gracenote.
How do I make it a G gracenote
Regards,
John

To change the pitch of a grace note just move it with the mouse or arrow keys.

When you use the drag-and-drop method to add a grace note make sure you drop it directly on the notehead of the regular note.

Thank you for your help. I can enter the leumlahs and taorlueths beautifully.
If you look at Coppermill's beginning there is a partial measure with an Actual time of 0.5 beat but I cannot get the actual time down that low.
Any suggestions?
John
