Positions of ornaments
Ornaments, including trills, are placed above the notes to which they apply. They are only placed
below the staff for down-stem voices in multiple-voice contexts.
Ornaments and trills are positioned outside of slurs by default. Similarly, they are positioned
further from noteheads than articulations.
The center of ornaments aligns with the center of the notehead to which they apply. Trills are
aligned differently, as the left side of trill marks aligns with the left edge of the notehead to which
the trill applies.
Dorico SE automatically positions ornaments correctly according to their type, and attaches them
to their notehead.
You can move ornaments to different rhythmic positions in Write mode. They are automatically
positioned to avoid collisions.
