Creating trills

If you have recorded or entered a trill, Cubase can help you display this properly:

1. Select the notes that make up the trill.
2. Right-click on one of the notes and select “Build Trill…” from the context menu.
3. Select an option from the dialog that appears.

   The radio buttons determine how the trill should look. Activate the “Help Note” option if you want an extra note to indicate between which notes the trill should be played.

4. Click OK.

Result

• All notes except the first one (and possibly the second) are hidden.

• The first note automatically gets a display length matching the length of the whole trill.

• If you choose to include a help note, the second note is converted to a “Graphic” note, with brackets but without stem. Otherwise, the second note is hidden, too.

• The trill symbols you selected in the dialog are inserted.
