Notation reference
Ornaments
Ornaments are markings that indicate multiple notes are played in addition to the notated pitch. They are used to decorate music, such as in Baroque music, which is highly decorated with trills and other ornaments.
Trills
Trills are fast alternations between two notes, similar to a tremolo, that were a common decoration in Baroque, Classical, and Romantic music. Trill marks are usually added to a single note, to indicate the performed notes are the notated pitch and the note either a half-step or whole step above, and can have extension lines to show the duration of the trill.
Hiding/Showing trill extension lines
You can hide/show the extension lines of individual trills. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.
