Description

Your idea

Preferably, there should be a palette similar to the current Bagpipe embellishment palette that contains Piobaireachd specific embellishments. There are quite a few unique qualities of piobaireachd movements (the classical music of the bagpipe - for lack of a better term) that are either missing or significantly different from the current Bagpipe palette. Enough that a separate palette is needed.

Problem to be solved

It is possible to edit an in progress score and embellishments from the current bagpipe palette, but no way to save them to a custom palette. There are many differences in piobaireachd that warrant a separate palette. This feature is only available in a very select few and paid only programs.
