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

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

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