HiI use most of the ornaments I sent you on slow airs...... the difference is that they are slowed down which means they sound different from when they are played rapidly in a jig.
the triplet you are talking about is probably just a slowed cut or strike. Or it could be a roll which would have 5 notes, (I know 5 doesn't equal a triplet) but it revolves around 3 notes in the tune.
I don't use crans, don't like the sound of them.. sound great on pipes though, and maybe on lower whistles than the ones I use.
But I do use a lot of slides up to notes because you can do them really slowly in airs.... and they sound great especially in the high register.
Have fun...... might send you a mediaring voicemail let you hear what I'm talking about....
