RESULT
The interval of the selected trill intervals is reset. This applies from the selected trill intervals until
the next interval change in the trill or the end of the trill, whichever comes rst. For example, if
you selected a trill with no interval changes within its duration, the interval is reset for the whole
trill.
By default, trill intervals appear as accidentals when the interval is a second and as auxiliary
notes for all other intervals. Signposts are shown at the position of each trill interval that does
not require an accidental or auxiliary note.
However, trill interval signposts are hidden by default.

Trill interval appearance
There are different accepted ways to present trill intervals on notation staves, including
accidental symbols and the Hollywood convention of showing “H.T.” for a half-step (semitone)
and
“W.T.” for a whole step (tone).
In Dorico Elements, trill intervals can appear in the following ways on notation staves:
Accidental
Indicates the trill interval using accidentals positioned above, below, or beside the tr
mark. This is the default trill interval appearance in Dorico Elements for major or minor
second trills.
Hollywood-style
Indicates the trill interval using text.
● H.T. for half-step/minor second trills
● W.T. for whole step/major second trills
Auxiliary note
Indicates the trill interval using a small, parenthesized, stemless notehead shown in
the staff immediately to the right of the
rst note to which the trill applies, and at the
correct staff position for the trilled-to pitch. Auxiliary notes are used for all trill intervals
that are not a major or minor second, but are automatically hidden for unison trills if
the notehead design of the auxiliary note has not been overridden.
