40 Many notation issues for wind instruments pertain to breathing and
44 @item Breathing can be specified by rests or @ref{Breath marks}.
45 @item Legato playing is indicated by @ref{Slurs}.
46 @item Different types of tonguings, ranging from legato to non-legato to
47 stacatto are usually shown by articulation marks, sometimes combined
48 with slurs, see @ref{Articulations and ornamentations} and @ref{List of
50 @item Flutter tonguing is usually indicated by placing a tremolo mark
51 and a text markup on the note. See @ref{Tremolo repeats}.
54 There are also other aspects of musical notation that can apply to wind
58 @item Many wind instruments are transposing intruments, see
59 @ref{Instrument transpositions}.
60 @item The slide glissando are characteristic of the trombone, but other
61 winds may perform keyed or valved glissandi. See @ref{Glissando}.
62 @item Harmonic series glissandi, which are possible on all brass
63 instruments but common for French Horns, are usually written out as
65 @item Pitch inflections at the end of a note are discussed in @ref{Falls
67 @item Key slaps or valve slaps are often shown by the @code{cross} style
68 of @ref{Special note heads}.
69 @item Woodwinds can overblow low notes to sound harmonics. These are
70 shown by the @code{flageolet} articulation. See @ref{List of articulations}.
71 @item The use of brass mutes is usually indicated by a text markup, but
72 where there are many rapid changes it is better to use the
73 @code{stopped} and @code{open} articulations. See @ref{Articulations and
74 ornamentations} and @ref{List of articulations}.
75 @item Stopped horns are indicated by the @code{stopped} articulation.

104 @c TODO add link to LSR snippet by Libero Mureddo once he has added
105 @c it (after August 15th).
106 All wind instruments other than the trombone require the use of several
107 fingers to produce each pitch.
114 This section includes extra information for writing for bagpipes.

134 LilyPond contains special definitions for music for the Scottish
135 highland bagpipe; to use them, add
138 \include "bagpipe.ly"
142 at the top of your input file. This lets you add the special grace notes
143 common to bagpipe music with short commands. For example, you could
144 write @code{\taor} instead of
147 \grace @{ \small G32[ d G e] @}
150 @code{bagpipe.ly} also contains pitch definitions for the bagpipe
151 notes in the appropriate octaves, so you do not need to worry about
152 @code{\relative} or @code{\transpose}.

159 Bagpipe music nominally uses the key of D Major (even though that
160 isn't really true). However, since that is the only key that can be used,
161 the key signature is normally not written out. To set this up correctly,
162 always start your music with @code{\hideKeySignature}. If you for some
163 reason want to show the key signature, you can use @code{\showKeySignature}
166 Some modern music use cross fingering on c and f to flatten those notes.
167 This can be indicated by @code{cflat} or @code{fflat}. Similarly, the
168 piobaireachd high g can be written @code{gflat} when it occurs in light
