Trill the first note for its printed duration and then without stopping slur right to the next note and trill it for its printed duration.

Thanks.
also, for a f to d flat trill, would i go from an f to a e, and then slur it to d flat, and go from d flat to e flat?

Are you talking about an f with a trill sign (tr) over it followed by a d flat with a trill sign over it?

What note you play with the f depends on what key you are in. If the E is flattened in the key signature, then you would play an E flat, not an E with the F. Similarly for the D flat.

Wait a minute, a note with a trill sign over it is trilled to the note above it in the scale not the note below it.

So an F with a trill sign over it is trilled as F to G or F to Gb depending on key signature. Note this can be modified depending on what other notations are with the trill sign.

Similarly a Db would be trilled to an Eb most likely since a key signature with a Db would also have an Eb in it. Again this can be modified depending on other notations with the trill sign.

I think you have a split flute part, so one player would play the bottom, and the other, the top.
