Here is the link to a Website that has commercial software for pipers. By downloading and installing this on your PC, you can get access to the music for hundreds of tunes, as well as launch midi files that give you a decent sense of how the tunes should sound. Bagpipe Music Writer is the dominant software on the market for this niche, developed and sold by a former SFU piper.
Website: Bagpipe Music Writer Gold
