This is the only email address I saw on the documentation, so I hope it's the right place to send comments like this.
Today's my first day using Lilypond, though I'm experienced with Music, LaTeX, and UNIX. I don't know the best way to do everything, so please inform me where I do things incorrectly. I've been looking at the bagpipe.ly given as a sample in the Lilypond Documentation, and as a bagpipe player I noticed some major problems. I'm guessing that the file worked on a very, very old version of Lilypond and that at some point things changed and the file wasn't updated. All problems but one had to do with what octave various notes are in. I just modified the file to make it correct. I made the fewest number of changes possible, so they may not all be "Right." I'm attaching the modified file. Please either accept it into the documentation or let me know if there are any problems with my changes. Thanks. ------------------- \version "1.7.18" \header { texidoc = "@cindex Bagpipe Music Here's an example of bagpipe music.
