Trills

A trill is often notated with two symbols: the indication and a wavy extension line that indicates the length of the trill. Both components of a trill are available as Smart Shapes and Articulations.

To create a trill or trill extension line (wavy line)

  1. Click the Smart Shape tool . The Smart Shape palette appears. (If the palette does not appear, choose Window > Smart Shape Palette to place a checkmark by it.)
  2. Choose the Trill tool or Trill Extension tool .
  3. Position the cursor in the measure where you want the trill or wavy line to begin.
  4. Double-click the mouse; on the second click, hold the button down and drag to the right until the trill or wavy line is the desired length. As long as you hold the button down, you can keep moving the end of the trill or wavy line.
