To note: This is not meant to be a history of any of the idioms here, nor an in-depth guide to all of the nuances and variations that can occur within each idiom, nor how it relates to modern highland dancing. This is a primer for beginning and intermediate pipers about the basic structural and rhythmic differences of these tune types and how they are generally played in today's piping environment.
