Trill start

As far as I can tell there isn’t a way to have trills start on the upper note. Or am I missing something obvious?
Also if I never want a trill to have the wigglys do I have to always do this after the fact rather than as a preference?

love the ‘wigglys’

those can be removed in the properties panel (see screen shot).

unclear about where to start the trill…

In much music like Telemann etc. the trill should start on the upper note. So…I’d like to be able to set this as a preference.
Also I know the property panel can be used but I don’t want to have to change trills after the fact each time. I’d really like to set it and forget it.
These are things that aren’t ever changing throughout a whole suite of music by some composers.

There is an engraving option in ornaments category, ‘Extension lines for trill’ which controls globally whether the wiggly lines are drawn or not.

Ok. Now how about initial trill note.

There’s no playback of trills at all yet, but when it’s implemented, I expect you will be able to specify the default playback for trills in the new Playback Options dialog.
