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. If you’ve loaded an Articulations library into
your file (or if your Maestro Font Default file is in place), you don’t
have to create the markings anew. See also “Engraver
Font - "Trill to” Noteheads and Smart
Playback.
To create a trill or trill extension line (wavy line)
To create a small accidental on a trill marking
To let the player know which notes are
to be trilled, a small accidental, sometimes in parentheses, is often
placed next to the symbol . (This tells the player to raise
or lower the written pitch by a half step for the trill.) This symbol,
too, is an Articulation; see Articulations.

to” Noteheads.
To define a trill marking for playback
Trills defined with one of the default trill articulations playback automatically if Human Playback is enabled in the Playback Controls. See Playback Controls for details. If Human playback is disabled, you can apply playback to trills using the TGTools Smart Playback plug-in.
