First of all: Thank you for this detailed answer. I never thought
it is so complex. I have a working version of "noteedit" with 2
ornaments which MusiXTeX calls "\trille" and "\Trille".

No, I won't! "Noteedit" is an interactive WYSIWYG note editor
which can play the score in realtime. And if you wish it exports
the score into MUP, MusiXTeX, PMX and LilyPond (this is the
only way to print the score).
For exportation, of course, I'll use the appropriate symbols
("\trille" and "\Trille" in MusiXTeX case). But I'll also try
to play the score. And I think it is impossible for a
computer to "play" the many subtypes of trills. I'm afraid
I can only suggest the trill. (Another way were to ignore it).
So from your answer: I'd play a trill as a fast (32th)
alternation between the main tone and the semitone above.
Beginning with main tone.
You computer cannot know whether the music is before of after Mozart ;-)
