Re: odd trill

>> The Fb trill with a natural is most likely an Fb to F natural trill (enharmonically speaking, E to F) as an Fb (E natural) to G is a tremolo being a minor 3rd. <<

Key words being "most likely". It is an augmented 2nd and there are scales with that interval and other reasons to use it, but who knows what it should be in this case.

Ken is right about the basic use of note names for the interval i.e. if one note is F the other would be G, regardless of being sharp, flat or natural.

The most logical interpretation is the one in the original post, but it could be a mistake (by the composer or whoever physically wrote it) e.g. they meant to write E, wrote Fb instead, then kept the natural sign. In F major, is it Fb and not E because you are coming to that note from Eb or Gb? Maybe the composer did use an augmented prima interval for a trill... which would be weird.
