For a full cran, with three cuts/gracenotes, you can use any sequence whatever for the gracenotes
F#GA (what I use)
GF#A (what Patsy Touhey used)
or any other, going up or going down or changing direction.
I attended a Mick O Brien workshop a few years ago and he used just two fingers
GF#G
or
F#GF#
I can’t recall which at the moment. He said that doing the crans with just the lowerhand fingers allowed him to use the A cut at any time to seperate notes or crans from each other without ever having to use the A cut twice in a row (which I have to do, being that I use a F#GA cran).
Thing is, these cuts/gracenotes are of such short duration that the actual pitch of them isn’t important, only the timing.
Cranlet… Cranlette… Sound suspiciously French to me. We can stay Irish and call it a Craneen, or go English for Cranning, Crannock, or Cranny, or Dutch for Crankin, or Latin for Cranule or Cranculus, or Italian for Crannetto or Cranilla, or… well you get the idea.
