Trills

Is there a tool to add trills (tr) to a note?

NoteWorthy Composer does not natively support trills at this time. The effect can be achieved by actually notating it, and some have achieved a close approximation of the look using text, but none of this is an actual trill assignment.

I hope this helps.

If you want BOTH the TRILL SOUND (achieved through manual scoring at this stage), but also a score that prints WITHOUT the notes, but a TR. above the note 1) add the tr. using text, placing it where you would like it to go 2) create a new stave with the appropriate time and key sigs and fill with empty bars (use whole rests) up to the bar you need the trill. 3) add the appropriate notes to do the trill.

The only trills that this won't work too well on are those that "borrow time" from the main note, and don't start with that note (eg D C B C, as opposed to, say C D C B C). This is because the main note (C in this case, which will be in the original staff) will sound at the same time as the first auxiliary note (D in the first case, and a nice unison C in the decond case). This makes much more sense having tried it out.

I forgot to add step 4! When printing, simply exclude the new staff from those to be printed.
