There is a difference between flat the Symbol (which is purely visual) and flat the accidental with the note-pitch-changing behaviour and there is also flat the Special Character that can be inserted into a text string. Some elements are only visual (Symbols), some are functional (Accidentals, Ornaments, etc.) and some have special behaviour such as character contained within a text string that, itself, sits within some sort of container. The objects that you see on your score are Elements. Is there a way to do what I am trying to do, or is this not possible, or is there a different approach I have not considered? Thanks for your assistance. I tried to do an "edit Element" from the pull down list, but the text didn't appear to be changeable. I tried to edit the tr on the score by selecting it as I might a text symbol, but that wasn't working either. The palate popped up, I selected the accidentals group, and tried to move the flat to the Trill indication now residing in my score. I then intended to add a b to the trill symbol, via the master palate (Z). To indicate this, I used the TR symbol from the Articulations and Ornaments Palette and selected the Trill symbol, and dragged it to the note I wanted to trill and inserted it. What is in the original source I am arranging is the following - TRb - with the flat indicating a trill to a flat note. My problem is that I want to adjust the notes of the trill, or at least indicate that the trill is adapted in performance (I am assuming the playback can't be altered). I am trying to insert a trill in a work I am arranging - not for the Tuba player. You can insert an appropriate comment now. Let me start by saying I'm a Tuba player - we don't get to trill very often.
