Changing the position of ornament accidentals relative to trills

You can change where ornament accidentals are positioned relative to individual trills, independently of your project-wide setting.

Ornament accidentals indicate the interval of trills by telling the performer which notes to include in the ornament. For example, a trill on an E with a sharp ornament accidental indicates the performer trills between E and F♯, rather than between E and F.

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

   • Above

     

   • Below

     

   • On the right

     

Result

The position of ornament accidentals relative to the selected trills is changed.

Tip

You can change the default position of ornament accidentals relative to all trills project-wide on the Ornaments page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
