Re: placement of \trill script

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Patrick,

This comes up quite often in 18c music. The way I do it is to have separate voices for the notes in the chords. Adding an ornament then goes in the right place beside the note automatically. The downside is, perhaps, that then you get offsetting of the notes for the voices, and you may not want that, and then you need to adjust them. This works well if you have the typical polyphonic lines of 18c music, where they preferred the offset notes in chords, but if it is just for one chord then Pierre’s solution is better. I just mention this other technique for completeness.

The document I am trying to reproduce has the trill sign in the bottom space of the treble clef, just to the left of the F#.  I would be satisfied with that solution, but have been unsuccessful in accomplishing it.

Can anyone either show me how to do it, or offer a better suggestion?
