Re: Auto beams and grace notes

[Jim Sabatke]

Now that you mention it, I don't believe I have seen grace 
notes in other music; however bagpipe music is absolutely 
full of such notes.  I think part of the reason is that 
bagpipe music is continuous, no rests, no breaks in notes, 
so gracings are used to seperated notes.
