Thanks for the question, Stefan. I have been trying to get short
names for each symbol...like "Trill-Trill", meaning more than one
trill.
The trill symbols have singles, doubles, triples and quatruples (one,
two, three and four openings and closings).
The triples and quatruples usually are used when a person just keeps
on doing it and doing it and doing it...to the point where the trill
becomes like trembling and you can no longer decipher the beginning
or the end of the movement...
The trembling symbols really stem from writing body movement. We have
placed trembling lines around the whole body....or even the head to
show general trembling excitement: |
