Dear Reinhold, thanks for Your tip! It works, but I would prefer the solution with the pitched trill. The behavior of the accidentals there is really very strange, as I've read in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-09/msg00465.html Is there solution available for this problem?

If you try to explain what you want the new context to do, it will be much easier to provide accurate help. In general, I strongly recommend you to take a look at the file ly/engraver-init.ly, where all the default contexts are defined. For example, if you look at the definition of the PianoStaff
