There is a also a followup from the Snail to my earlier remarks about English fiddlers and rolls, trebles and decorations: he asked for chapter and verse on this in MS collections. I suggest a look at the copies of William Irwin's notebooks,

I asked for examples. I want to know and learn. William Irwin's MS on the VMP has quite a few grace notes, one tune with trills marked and one (Lal(Little) Schottische,The. WI.092) with some trills and something that might be called rolls. (I've never come across the word trebles used for a decoration before.)

That gives me something to work on.
