There are indeed two quite different things both normally called
"shake", one more recent (stereotypically expected in a jazz-band
trumpet part) and the other less recent (a trill-like keyboard
ornament). People who aren't particularly jazz/pop oriented could
legitimately say that the jazz players were the ones who ought to have
been careful about naming, but that's "water under the bridge", as they
say. :) I guess both names "trill" and "shake" are already used for
signs in lilypond, so the keyboard ornament shake (if permanently added)
will need a special name. Hopefully something clear in meaning and not
too hard to type can be found... "keyboardshake" seems a bit long.
