???
Didn't know there was a name for it. I guess it depends what key you're in though. If you were in A, it could be the 'minor-second trill' or something. Otherwise I have no idea! Bariman |

I think it's called a trimelo. |

Or we could just call it a fancy trill and shoot the horse

Good thing you have a classical musician here.  *smirks*
A trill between two notes larger than a whole tone apart, or a rapid repition of a single note (mostly used with strings) is called a tremolo. It's hard to explain what it looks like in writing, so here are a few examples: http://www.myriad-online.com/images/workshop/tremolodisplay.gif http://www.tgtools.de/brtrem.gif It may look confusing at first, but the duration is really just the length of the first note in the tremolo. The second note signifies the end of the tremolo, and does not add any length to it. |
