Short trills without an extender line are printed with
\trill
; see Articulations and ornamentations.
Longer trills with an extender line are made with
\startTrillSpan
and \stopTrillSpan
:
d1~\startTrillSpan d1 c2\stopTrillSpan r2
In the following example, a trill is combined with grace notes. The syntax of this construct and the method to precisely position the grace notes are described in Grace notes.
c1 \afterGrace d1\startTrillSpan { c32[ d]\stopTrillSpan } e2 r2
Trills that require an auxiliary note with an explicit pitch can
be typeset with the \pitchedTrill
command. The first
argument is the main note, and the second is the trilled
note, printed as a stemless note head in parentheses.
\pitchedTrill e2\startTrillSpan fis d\stopTrillSpan
In the following example, the second pitched trill is ambiguous; the accidental of the trilled note is not printed. As a workaround, the accidentals of the trilled notes can be forced. The second measure illustrates this method:
\pitchedTrill eis4\startTrillSpan fis g\stopTrillSpan \pitchedTrill eis4\startTrillSpan fis g\stopTrillSpan \pitchedTrill eis4\startTrillSpan fis g\stopTrillSpan \pitchedTrill eis4\startTrillSpan fis! g\stopTrillSpan
\startTrillSpan
,
\stopTrillSpan
.
