Description
Your idea
It should be possible to click-and-drag bagpipe embellishments from the score into palettes.
This would be particularly useful in cases where the score features a customised embellishment (not featured in the current Bagpipe embellishments palette) and you want to save it for reuse later.
Problem to be solved
- Add a bagpipe embellishment (single grace note or a more complex embellishment) to a note
- Try to click-and-drag the embellishment into palettes as you would with any other engraving item

Prior art
No response
Additional context
Some design is probably needed here because, apart from single grace notes, it's unclear how exactly a click-and-drag interaction would work for embellishments consisting of multiple notes.
