35 Artificial harmonics are notated with a different notehead style. They
36 are entered by marking the harmonic pitch with @code{\harmonic}.

47 @unnumberedsubsubsec Bagpipe definitions
49 LilyPond contains special definitions for music for the Scottish
50 highland bagpipe; to use them, add
57 at the top of your input file. This lets you add the special gracenotes
58 common to bagpipe music with short commands. For example, you could
59 write @code{\taor} instead of
62 \grace @{ \small G32[ d G e] @}
65 @code{bagpipe.ly} also contains pitch definitions for the bagpipe
66 notes in the appropriate octaves, so you do not need to worry about
67 @code{\relative} or @code{\transpose}.

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