Say you are to trill an E double flat in the key of C. Do you trill to F making it an augmented 2nd? This sounds very strange when I do it. This appears frequently in the Jettel book that I have been studying.

An E double flat (in the key of C) is a D.
A whole step trill would then be D to E ...GBK

Hows this, of the top of my largely ignorant head:
They key signature may be in the the key of C, but if there is an Ebb in the music, then you are most unlikely to be in the key of C. You will have modulated to a different key, relying on accidentals rather than the key signature.
Play that section of music and then make up a bit more to quickly settle on a home note. Then you will know what key you are really in.
The key of C has no flats
The key of F has 1 flats.
The key of Bb has 2 flats.
The key of Eb has3 flats.
etc.
Continuing the series into rather theoretical and hypothetical areas....
The key of Cb has 7 flats, i.e. every note is flattened. There are 7 flattenings
The key of Fb has 8 flats, i.e. one note is DOUBLE flatted, i.e. Bbb
The key of Bbb has 9 flats, i.e. 2 notes are double flatted., i.e. Ebb.
etc.
The reasons why this key could be called Bbb rather than the key of A are largely theoretical
If you can work out which key you are REALLY in, then for your trill, you can work out whether the next step in the scale is a half step higher, or a full step.

I never knew that you were supposed to trill to whatever note the key is in. I always thought that you were supposed to trill to whatever the next note in the key SIGNATURE. Not the actual key that it may have modulated to. Thank you. I've learned something new today.
