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.
Positions of ornaments
Ornaments, including trills, are placed above the notes to which they apply. They are only placed below the staff for down-stem voices in multiple-voice contexts.
Changing the start position of trills
You can change whether the start position of individual trills is aligned with the notehead or with its accidental. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
