Supplied file - NORMTRIL.TXT
Recorder Digits comes with an external file - NORMTRIL.TXT. This file displays the normal trills for all notes, in the 2-fingering pattern used on my WebSite - the starting fingering position and then the trill fingering. NORMTRIL.TXT can be quickly loaded via a special entry on the File Menu (see The Menu).
New with version 2.85, you can use the QuickLoad Buttons to load this file even more easily.
The difference between the built-in fingerings and those found in NORMTRIL.TXT can be summarized:
The emphasis of the built-in fingerings is on displaying all the available fingerings (standard and alternate) for each note. If a particular fingering is used primarily for a trill, the trilling fingers are shown, but this is just a byproduct of showing the fingering. In contrast, the NORMTRIL.TXT file's emphasis is on trills. It shows all trills, not just those that contain alternate fingerings. Plus, it shows each trill in a 2-fingering pattern, not just the trill itself.
Of course, as mentioned in Viewing Built-in Fingerings, you have the built-in fingerings available even after loading NORMTRIL.TXT.
NORMTRIL.TXT is also a good example of an external file, particularly the technique of using F Record - Relative fingerings. Its External ReadMe area (see External ReadMe - Creating) demonstrates the use of an F Record - Bitmap and its fingerings demonstrate the use of a bitmap to draw a line (see Using Bitmaps on F Records).
