Hard to believe that this is the first time I've encountered a

Anyway, I'm in F minor, and there's a flute trill from G flat, and I
want it to trill to A flat. Do I indicate tr natural? or tr flat?
Just what do those accidentals on trills indicate?
Accidentals on a trill are just like those on a note. If you're in F
minor, normally you don't need any trill accidental at all to get an
Ab. If however there was an A natural (or sharp!) earlier in the
measure, then you need a flat by the trill to cancel it--just as if it
were a note. Note, btw, that you can always put in a cautionary trill
accidental, just like any other cautionary accidental, by using
parentheses.
