Yes, that's what I mean by 'modulation'. I didn't mean changing key, which is the usual use of the word in music. I meant that you can change how you do a trill, 'modulate' how you do a trill, to expressive effect. An accent is another musical structure you can 'modulate' -- This accent is more gentle than THAT one, which is more gentle than THIS FINAL ONE!

Notice that 'always starting on the upper note' becomes essentially indistinguishable from starting on the lower note if the appoggiatura is very short -- but you can still have a greater proportion of either upper or lower note in the trill, however you do the appoggiatura.
