new pipe music collection

[slothead]

I'll take a whack at this question... If you look here: http://pipetunes.ca/digging-deeper/p...rn-manuscript/ you can see an attempt to transcribe the canntaireachd to the written word. Each note and piping ornamentation has its own distinct sound in the 'singing' of the tune and what you see is a literal recording of each sound a canntaireachd singer produced (kind of like a court reporter.) There you go, Slothead, now it's clear as mud.

Thanks for that Blup', That is VERY interesting notation. It certainly seems very "compressed" with all those 'notes' represented by a couple flowery 'pictograms' (for lack of a better term). Thanks for your attempt to edumacate me.
