Trill interval appearance
There are different accepted ways to present trill intervals on notation staves, including
accidental symbols and the Hollywood convention of showing
“H.T.” for a half-step (semitone)
and “W.T.” for a whole step (tone).
In Dorico SE, trill intervals can appear in the following ways on notation staves:
Accidental
Indicates the trill interval using accidentals positioned above, below, or beside the tr
mark. This is the default trill interval appearance in Dorico SE for major or minor
second trills.
Hollywood-style
Indicates the trill interval using text.
●
H.T. for half-step/minor second trills
● W.T. for whole step/major second trills
Auxiliary note
Indicates the trill interval using a small, parenthesized, stemless notehead shown in
the staff immediately to the right of the rst note to which the trill applies, and at the
correct staff position for the trilled-to pitch. Auxiliary notes are used for all trill intervals
that are not a major or minor second, but are automatically hidden for unison trills if
the notehead design of the auxiliary note has not been overridden.
NOTE
On tablature, the trilled-to pitch always appears as a parenthesized fret number.
Changing the appearance of trill intervals
You can change the appearance of trills with a second interval on notation staves individually, for
example, if you want to show auxiliary notes on some trills to clarify a change in the trilled-to
pitch.
NOTE
You can only change the trill interval appearance of trills with a major/minor second interval.
