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

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

+This is what the well known tune Amazing Grace looks like in bagpipe
+notation.
