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.

Prerequisite
  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure
  1. Select the trills whose trill interval appearance you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Appearance in the Trills group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:
    • Accidental

    • Hollywood style

    • Auxiliary note

The appearance of the selected trill intervals on notation staves is changed. This does not affect their appearance on tablature.

After Completing This Task

You can change the notehead design of individual auxiliary notes; for example, to show that the trilled-to note is a harmonic.
