apparently crans and rolls are done differently on the anglo, a d cran on an anglo is sometimes played low d high d b a low d,acoording to seamus ennis [uilleann piper]the single cran can be cut in several differrent ways. I would cut three quavers in 6/8 time a d g d e d , seamus recommends a d g d fsh d , It seems like the english gets nearer to seamus sound than the anglo[ although iam sure the anglo cran sonds good too].There is an ornament that pipers use called a shiver which is performed by pipers on an e note and a f sharp as an alternative to the cran f sharp is cut by gfour quavers cut by three g s in 6/8 f g f g f g, the e shiver is cut in same way by g, this is easy on an english.of course anglo players could do this as well if they work their direction changes properly as they have g going on the push and pull, on th g row and c row as well as on the accidental row. anglo players can also do proper fiddle rolls example g fiddle roll g a g f sh g all in one direction as well as doing their fake rolls, likewise for quite a few other notes.
