Re the software - have you tried suggesting AbcExplorer to your piper friends? It's pretty complete GUI / WYSIWYG experience (including a piano keyboard for note entry). And free. Cheers, Chris I do indeed enjoy the nonsensical – especially the last one (“valuable poop” is a phrase that will stay with me for some time – could it be an electronic translation of “good sh*t”?).

Oh well, as you said, makes life interesting. Oh yes, ABC - well after trying TEX, Piob mhor & other (bagpipe) music notation software, I have been using ABC for years now, for both bagpipe and 'normal'/other music. It does pretty much everything I need - pipe music, multiple voices, lyrics/words, formatting, exporting, etc. A great product(s). I try and endorse it whenever I can. It's a bit like hitting a brick wall when talking to other pipers though - they are hard to wean off the GUI-based notation software :( Yours aye, Geoff Don’t you just love the non-sensicle (?) replies.
