Re: Trill Questions

To put it another way, trill up to the next note name - in other words C something to D something. What the "something" in each case is is determined by the key signature. Most often this will happen to be a whole step, but that's not a rule. It's frequently a half-step and could even be 1 1/2 steps. Hope that helps.

Looking more carefully at your question, any accidental above the trill symbol indicates an alteration of the top note of the trilll, to be applied after the key signature guidelines above. For example, if the key signature is four sharps and there is a trill on a C, you would trill C# to D#. A sharp above the trill symbol would make it C# to D double -sharp (E).
