ML94 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hey Guys, I'm just scoring out a piece of music for my A level on Sibelius and have stumbled on something ! I'm looking for a trill which doesn't play the upward note but rather the downward note - A downward trill. Is there a specific name for this inverted trill on Sibelius or do you just have to state it on the notation ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFry Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm not familiar with Sibelius but look for the symbol that looks like an ordinary trill but with a short vertical line through it , in the same way as the difference between an upper mordent and a lower mordent . I have always known it as an inverted trill . hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 +1 Think what you are describing is a 'Mordent' - have a look here http://www.music.vt.edu/MUSICDICTIONARY/appendix/ornaments/ornaments.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
