Seems, that there are some difficulties with bagpipe "gracenotes". Online-handbook show's up the possibillity - that's all. It does not tell, how to use that feature, and, as far as I see, there might be some problems with that.

I'll add a download from there to this thread, too - with some sounding example of "bagpiping". Hope, it might show you how to get around.

Maybe, the following links might help to find out more on "Bagpipe embellishments and how to use them"?

By the way: Do you know, why the Romans built that "Hadrian's Wall" in Britannia? As their legions marched AD 49 (under reign of Claudius) to Caledonia and for that had to cross the river Tyne, it is told that about 600 bagpipers approached them, coming out of the caledonian forest. Then the Romans turned around immediatly, went back over the river - and started building the Hadrian's wall behind them! B^)

Have fun, and: Set the music free!
