Shouldn't the accidental go to the right (and a little above) the
"tr"? Besides, it would be better to make a generic function,
like \alteredTrill #1/2 where the number argument would be the
pitch alteration value, so that all accidentals (including
naturals and quarter-tones) could be represented. Ideally, two
properties could be defined (maybe with better names than these),
parenthesize-alteration? (default = #f)
alteration-placement
(with choices like top bottom left right top-right top-left ...)
(default = 'top-right)
...or something like that.
See Kurt Stone pp.75-77 for examples.
***********************
second thought...
why not just extend the functionality of \pitchedTrill with
tunable context properties?
\set pitchedTrillStyle = #'note (or 'accidental)
or
\set pitchedTrillOnStaff = ##f
or something. I'd still want to have the choice to parenthesize
and position the accidental as above. But I think commands like
\startFlatTrillSpan are too specific and unwieldly.
That said, it's a great idea, one that I've often wished for.
